So, our stalker made an appearance yesterday
... and I've got a few things to say:
1. THIS IS GETTING RIDICULOUS. What the hell, Sara? She's the worst bodyguard E V E R. Like... I get MC and her friends haven't been able to identify this guy from the multiple times they've seen him bc they're busy people focusing on their jobs instead of random individuals, but Sara? HER FREAKING JOB IS TO IDENTIFY STUFF AROUND MC THAT COULD BE A THREAT, FOR GOD'S SAKE! The guy spoke in that Comic Con AND here in Production, and she hasn't even been able to identify his voice?? And knowing what a threat this stalker is to MC, how does Sara let people in sunglasses and cap be around her? MC needs to be in a safe environment, and is kinda obvious that includes being able to recognize all the people around her. It's not that difficult. At first, I thought hiring Sara was gonna be a paywalled option but now I see why it was free: SHE'S THE MOST MEDIOCRE BODYGUARD EVER.
2. This guy was rude to MC in that Comic Con and now he tried to KILL HER (or at least cause her severe injuries). It's kinda obvious he's trying to keep her away from Ninradell.
I still believe he's a Ninradell crazy fan that doesn't believe MC is capable/worthy of bringing his favorite book to the big screen, so he's trying to make her take a step back from the project, as this would obviously cancel the production, given Teja is a mess. He achieved this for a while with his Comic Con attack, and MC was put in isolation for a few days, but she eventually came back and that made him realize he had to use other techniques to obligate her to stay away. As verbal threats were useless, physical harm is now the only way.
OR maybe he's just jealous of MC's success and wants Ninradell to fail as it would be a pretty big stain in her career. Next week's chapter summary was about going back to Iowa and discovering a secret, right? This guy could be someone who grew up in Iowa with MC and never considered her talented enough, so he thinks it's unfair she has reached stardom now.
