"You romanticize stalkers, then?" Five asked the girl with interest, twirling a spoon in a cup of coffee. Such a question could not lead to something serious. Everyone has their own fetishes, but Five had plans to change her mindset, and he loved teaching her new things.
She began to notice Five everywhere: in the cafe, on the bus, on the street. As a private investigator working for the government, it was not difficult for him to find out her routes and put a bug. He inserted unexpected phrases into conversations that he shouldn't have known. For example, when they met at the store, he said, "Are you buying buckwheat for the third time in a week?"
Every time she received a message, he knew who was texting her. "Is your mom worried about you again?" He left her with frightening signs of his presence, like an open book on a page she hadn't read.
She noticed strange coincidences on social media when Five commented on her posts with details that caused goosebumps. This flood of attention began to frighten her. Five wasn't going to stop and enjoyed his game, changing her perception of reality.
He decided to teach her a lesson that reality can be stranger and more frightening than romantic fantasies about stalkers.
