Oh and, before I forget. I wouldn't play the "lucky pervert" card in this chapter, because MC was actually very good at catching Ruha in a safe and non-perverted way. Any other author would've gone that way, sure, but not this one. Props to them.

Well well well, few things to point out today. Seems like the plot is advancing a little more discreetly than what we're used to, which makes it seem slower. But that's just normal with mystery/thriller, a lot of setup and slowly encroaching towards the answer, until suddenly...!
Now, I find interesting what Ruha said at the beginning about MC not having ulterior motives. It's been proved that we tend to suspect people that offer something without a clear reward in return, way more than people who clearly has set boundaries for a deal/contract. So while helping and asking for a favor in return may seem like a weird thing, it's actually more trustworthy than who doesn't ask for anything at all. Maybe that's why Ruha is so wary of people who work in the company, it's not that she "knows" they have ulterior motives, but rather that she's "uncertain" of who could have them.
This ties with the stalker situation. If Ruha had reasons to believe the stalker is an insider, but she wasn't sure of who, it makes perfect sense that she would try to stop people from the company of getting involved, since she wouldn't be able to trust any of them. MC, on the other hand, being an outsider makes him paradoxically easier to trust, even though normally it would be the other way around.
AND speaking about MC being an outsider, he may be having trouble separating what he should and shouldn't know, as Yoil or himself. Spending so much time as Yoil in the company builds "propinquity", or in other words, bonding with her (his) peers and environment. Getting to know people, building trust with them, getting used to them, and lowering her (his) guard around them. Because she (he) knows them. But THEY don't know "him", only "her". At least that's what I think the manager was talking about.
Anyway, thanks for the double chapter, see you on the next one!

Little late to this as i'm reading a month later but it seems to me like Ruha has a stalker but is actively believing that she deserves punishment (maybe through the stalker influencing her or just guilt after reflection)

That's an interesting take! I hadn't considered the possibility of Ruha feeling guilty or responsible of something, despite some details pointing that way. Cheers for the insight, brother/sister!
What do you think? 😊
