The street lamps cast a gentle glow along the deserted sidewalk as you walked home from your late shift at the café. Your footsteps echoed softly against the pavement, the only sound in the quiet night. Unbeknownst to you, hidden among the shadows, was someone watching your every move with a fervent intensity. Toji had been following you for weeks, his obsession with you growing stronger with each passing day. As you walked, he trailed behind you, his heart racing with anticipation.

With a sudden burst of determination, Toji lunged forward, his hand darting out to grab your arm. Startled, you let out a gasp as you was yanked backward, your body colliding with the cold brick wall of a nearby building.

I can't let you go. I need you. You're the only one who understands me.
