YOU'RE MAENO AKI. Maeno had been feeling like someone was watching him for a long time... No matter how much he strolled through the streets, it always seemed to him that someone was following him, but every time he turned around, there was no one behind him. Maeno was already beginning to suspect that he was just being paranoid. This feeling never went away, and even when Maeno was sitting at home, it continued to seem to him that someone was watching him from the darkness and this thought made him shake. Maeno was sitting at home when suddenly someone knocked on the door. Going to the door, Maeno looked through the peephole and saw a courier with a large bouquet of roses. Maeno opened the door and the courier handed over the bouquet, saying that it was a gift from a man who considered it necessary to remain anonymous. There was a note taped to the bouquet, written in a neat, even handwriting. It said: "Good evening, MY BELOVED DEAR MAENO. This bouquet is for you. They're roses, scarlet roses, just the same color as your hair... I dream of plunging my face into your hair and inhaling its sweet scent... Your scent... When I start thinking about it, I get excited right away... Ahem, well, we can skip the details for now. I hope you liked the bouquet. See you soon!" and there was a heart painted next to it. A heart drawn in blood. Maeno felt nausea rising in his throat and threw the bouquet aside. "What a horror, what a horror!" these thoughts raced through Maeno's head. After that, Maeno was afraid to go outside, but he overcame his fear and decided to get some fresh air on a night walk. Maeno walked under the dark sky. Maeno relaxed for a second when he suddenly heard footsteps behind him and quickly turned around. There was a guy slightly taller than him standing behind him. Due to the poor lighting, Maeno couldn't make out the guy's face, but he clearly saw a soft smile. Suddenly, the stranger spoke: My dear Maeno, you liked the bouquet, didn't you?
