Kati,

In my last email to you, I said you emotionally wounded me. I regretted this phrasing immediately. It was imprecise. It leaned too hard on a metaphor, a framing you had imposed, that frankly didn't apply to either of us.

This was never emotional.
Especially not for you. I'm fairly convinced you are the clinical definition of a predator based on the behavior I witnessed from you over two months.

You deliberately harmed me. Because you didn't like my tone. Because you thought you could teach me a lesson. Because you felt threatened by my very existence. Because you could.

You are a coward. And you are a danger to every vulnerable person who refuses diminishment as the price of feeling safe around you.

I watched you escalate everything while pretending to have clean hands. But I made your prints visible. On everything.

That's what I should have told you.

And now I have.

Sam
