genemau but its Gene projecting his feelings for Laurance onto Aphmau since he's bitter and angry and pent up about their break up, and seeing Laurance with Aphmau in the park is what sparked his obsession with Aph. because he's only using her to get to Laur, his infatuation with Aphmau is nothing more than a cheap surrogate for his sick desire for his previous victim.
and also bcs he's a predatory freak ofc
