relevant xkcd

is this what you’re referring to?

just not changing pace is good enough in my opinion, that makes it look like he was actually chasing her

if he takes the same road and she is scared it’s more of a she problem since he’s just going home

imo the solution is just not to do anything sketchy, and teach younger people what’s right and wrong, so that the problem can get solved with a better society in the future

thank you

what short story?

I’m sold on the idea, I want to see it now
