Whenever I am writing this story, I often imagine myself as the reader seeing this for the first time and thinking "Why does [Y/n] continue to put up with Kitty's creepy behaviour? Any other person would have blocked him ages ago." So I figured I'd just add a quick explanation and run-down of the sort of relationship Kitty and Yin have. If you don't care, you can just skip over this chapter. It holds no importance to the story whatsoever and is just here in case anyone needs help understanding. ദ്ദി ˉ͈̀꒳ˉ͈́ )✧ (Btw, I'm gonna call them [Y/n] and Koda when discussing their characters in general and then I'll refer to them as Yin and Kitty when discussing their relationship in the online space).

Admittedly, I think a lot of other yandere writers would show/handle their relationship a bit better than I have, but I swear I did think it through before writing! (;'༎ຶٹ༎ຶ') [Y/n] is a mentally ill person. Obviously not on the same fucked up level as Koda but they do definitely have their own set off issues rooted in the past. Because of this, Kitty and Yin have this sort of mutually co-dependent (and unhealthy) relationship with each other. Kitty, of course, is obsessed and uses their online connection to keep tabs on Yin and dictate their interactions with other people under the guise of "protecting them." Meanwhile Yin gets a constant flow of validation from him which boosts their morale and self-esteem. They are the primary victim of the situation but Yin certainly "uses" Kitty to an extent, so they're not without flaw.

Even when Kitty is scary and overbearing toward Yin, I feel like deep down, Yin kinda gets a strange sort of gratification from this toxic behaviour. It facilitates this idea that someone out there loves them and cares about them enough to be this involved in their life. Unfortunately, [Y/n] doesn't seem to realise that this online bond is slowly bleeding into reality because they see their online self as a separate persona/fantasy if that makes sense? [Y/n] knows they should probably block Kitty but the relationship is far too addictive.

It's also why you may have noticed the slight imbalance of interest in their conversations. Kitty's texts are excessive and invasive - full of affection and always pushing to get more information out of Yin. Whilst Yin's messages tend to be more short and distance except when they're venting and talking about something that personally happened to them.

I hope this explanation made sense. And I hope it doesn't come across as victim blaming. I'm just trying to put it out there that [Y/n] is not perfect and, in an ideal circumstance, they'd be in therapy and have no means of contact with Koda.
