I know it’s a short story so there’s only so much space, but I was hoping we’d get at least a bit more resolution with the stalker part.

I totally expected something like the stalker was revealed to have put cameras in the bedroom and then released the footage online to smear his name, but because of the camera info or recording metadata or something it allowed the police to track the stalker down and arrest him.

And obviously there’d be some “don’t worry we’ve (somehow) managed to take the videos down” but ofc some people still saw them, so the MC dreads going to set the next day only to find that no one treats him differently.

Maybe his co-star could pull him aside after the shoot and tell him how she saw the video and how awful it was that it happened to him, but express her support for the relationship and maybe mention how the film industry had come a long way in terms of being accepting of lgbt, it’s just not brought up a bunch because obvi those are personal matters and it would be unprofessional to bring them up in a work setting.

Maybe something like “Hey, I heard about what happened. I’m so sorry, [inset whatever the hair dresser’s name is here] had told me that an obsessed fan of mine was sending you threats, but I had no idea it /this/ bad. I should’ve put out a statement sooner confirming that we didn’t have a relationship and condemn such horrible actions… then maybe this could’ve all been avoided… I hope you know that everyone here is rooting for you, okay?” and then maybe she implies she’s like a fujo or crazy romantic or some shit and is now like super invested in the success of his relationship.

Idk man I’m sleepy zzzzzz
