I wish the MC never actually clarified anything for the stalker and instead just left him hanging with an uneasiness that just won't go away no matter what you do, a feeling that he's going to be left and discard and it could happen at any moment. If he left the house for a few days and then came back, if he made sudden changes, certain remarks in order to torment the stalker so he could never be comfortable and at peace, I feel like this would be a better punishment, and maybe an open ending instead of actually ending up together like that.
