I surveyed the scene and realized that a crowd had gathered around us, the incident on theirphones.

This was concerning.
“Steve, you went too far,” I said. Then, I angrily approached and grabbed his arm. “This is a publicsetting. He was just occupying seats. Did you really need to be so brutal?”
Suddenly, I remembered the day I first woke up in Stephanie’s body, when he almost strangled mejust because he couldn’t find his bracelet.
Steven was mentally ill and prone to harming others.
“Apologize to this gentleman!” I feared Steven might get into trouble and end up forcibly confined toa psychiatric hospital, so I had to make him apologize first.
Steven lowered his head slightly, looking somewhat aggrieved. He picked up the man’s phone
in silence.
“And return his phone!” I couldn’t fathom what was going through his mind.
The complexities of interacting with someone afflicted by mental illness began to weigh heavily onmy mind.
“Sir, I’ll take you to the hospital at the next stop.” I wanted to calm the man down first. novelbin
The man held his wrist in pain, but he stopped yelling and didn’t dare ask for his phone back.
I sighed, realizing a trip to the police station was inevitable.
“Miss, please don’t scold him. He did nothing wrong. This man harassed us first, and this man hereacted bravely,” the girl next to me earnestly defended Steven.
“But…”
…” I wanted to say Steven was mentally ill, but saying it aloud would hurt his pride. I had to changemy approach. “Even so, he shouldn’t have been so rough.”
Steven remained silent.
As the train pulled into the station, the police arrived..
“No, I won’t press charges. Just give me my phone and let me go,” the man suddenly changed hismind about involving the police and just wanted his phone back so that he could leave.
I looked at the man suspiciously and then glanced at Steven, who had been following me with aresigned expression.
Instead of returning the phone to the man, Steven handed it over to the police. “He was taking

photos,” he said.
The police hesitated for a moment before instructing the man to unlock his phone.
But the man refused.

Suddenly, it became clear to me why he was monopolizing three seats and why he seemed sofixated on the girl’s attire.
He was taking upskirt photos of the girl. Fearing someone might catch him in the act, he occupiedthree seats all by himself.
The police forcefully made the man unlock his phone and open the photo gallery. There were over athousand pictures, all of them secretly taken photos of women on the subway–upskirt shots, chestshots, and more.
The girl in the sundress looked at the photos with horror, screamed, and kicked the man whileclutching her skirt. “Police! He’s a pervert! I’ll sue him!”
I looked at Steven, feeling guilty. I had misunderstood him.
Steven didn’t say anything and kept his head down.
We all went to the police station. The girl kept talking to Steven with admiration, but he remainedsilent throughout.
“I admit to taking indecent photos, which was wrong, but he assaulted me. I’m going to sue himbecause he broke my wrist.” At the police station, the man toughened up. Since he couldn’t escapethe charge of secretly taking photos, he wouldn’t let Steven off easily.
“My husband stepped in to stop the man’s misconduct, especially because the man provoked himfirst,” I stood in front of Steven, defending him.
Steven’s eyes lit up as he looked at me.
He was happy that I stood up for him.
“I’m Steven’s assistant,” Ewan arrived with the best lawyer in Huma.
I sighed with relief. I knew that with their arrival, Steven would be fine.
To my surprise, Ewan gave the police a red document, which turned out to be Steven’s mentaldisability certificate.
The sleazy man, who had been making a fuss, suddenly fell silent. His expression turned to
fear.
