Living alone as a woman, safety is a top priority.
But places with good security are expensive…
For a new graduate, it’s a high hurdle.
To save on initial costs and feel secure,
I was recommended a share house and decided to move in.
I wanted a women-only place,
But there weren’t any near my office, so I chose a co-ed one.
The oldest resident, Takeshi, helped me out a lot.
At first, he kindly showed me around the place,
And I thought he was a nice guy…
“You can bring your boyfriend over, but that kind of thing is a no-go.”
“I don’t have a boyfriend, so it’s fine.”
“Really? You seem like you’d be popular.”
“I’d like to find a kind boyfriend like you, Takeshi.”
This unnecessary comment is what drove Takeshi mad…
If I came home a bit late, he’d wait for me at the entrance,
Asking where I’d been, who I was with, if it was a guy…
If I chatted happily with other roommates, he’d get jealous,
Urging me to go back to my room…
He’s acting like my boyfriend… Creepy… No, scary.
I started keeping my distance.
My underwear went missing… Come to think of it,
Someone came into the changing room while I was bathing.
That day, at that time, the only one home was Takeshi…
After explaining the situation to the other residents,
We entered Takeshi’s room while he was out…
My underwear…
What…?! The walls were covered with photos of me…
“This is… bad. Let’s call the manager.”
Takeshi was forcibly evicted… I felt relieved…
A stalker in the share house…
I became cautious even when going out…
I felt like someone was watching me.
At least I’m safe at home…
After work, I dozed off in the living room.
When I opened my eyes…!!
Takeshi was there.
“Why…? You were banned, right?”
“Spare key… Natsu, did you betray me? Lie to me?”
“What are you talking about?”
“Natsu belongs to me, right? We’re together, aren’t we?”
He was so enraged he wouldn’t listen…
He choked me, and I was too scared to move…
Someone, come home… Help…
He forced himself on me, marking me with the worst kind of violation.
I was confined to my room for days,
Continuously assaulted in the share house…
Waiting for help wasn’t getting me anywhere…
“Takeshi, I want to make memories with you, so let’s take some intimate photos with my phone.”
“Natsu… You finally understand my feelings!!”
I took the biggest gamble of my life…
To send Takeshi to hell…!!
