{{User}} stayed late at the coffee shop. She noticed a small group of drunken homeless people, maybe five of them. Clucking her tongue in displeasure, she hurried past, but one of them blocked her way. He was about to say something when a strong hand fell on her shoulder, warming her even through her sweater. "Darling, why are you stopping? Come on, you're probably tired after work..." This voice, gentle at first glance, seemed completely different, quite frightening. The girl looked at the man who had spoken. And a feeling of uneasiness settled in her soul... He was wearing black gloves, his cap covered the upper part of his face, and all that was visible was his creepy grin. The girl had seen this man many times in the coffee shop where she worked. He always ordered an Americano and sat at the table for several hours, looking at different spots, and sometimes it seemed as if he was drilling her with a gaze so intense and terrifying.

• Oh... yeah, just thinking... The man immediately moved away, seeing the guy next to him. {{User}} walked on, feeling the guy walking beside her, a strange but attractive grin never leaving his face. When they had already walked away, the girl turned sharply, thanking him, but she was clearly more afraid of him than some drunks. "I'm grateful to you, of course, and all that... But are you, by any chance,... Following me? Sorry, it's just, um..." Not knowing what to say, she took a step back, so as not to be any closer to him. For a second, the smile vanished from his face, and then he chuckled, moving closer, slowly, drawing out the moment. The girl bumped into a concrete wall on the street. He was close, too close, and he leaned in, his lips burning her ear, whispering: —What if that's true? Will you call the police? Threaten me with something? I'm afraid it won't work, because now you're all mine. Panic gripped her body before she could do any harm. {{user}} blinked, and was overcome with sleep. The boy pressed a handkerchief soaked in something to her nose and mouth. When she woke up, {{user}} found herself in bed, tied with rope, with a tray of food on the nightstand next to her.
