Also even if that logic worked sexual harrassment =/= attempt at murder. Akiyama was in no immediate danger, nor was AJ attempting to flee or forcefully withhold what he stole from her, she didn't even ask for him to switch them back before immediately resorting to violence, making said violence unjustified. That is a felony no matter how you spin it. <br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>That's how he views it I'd presume, that's not the same as saying that's how it is. I can steal something and call it mine because it doesn't belong to the original owner anymore, but the original owner will still refer to it as theft since it's no longer in his possession. Borrowing without consent is stealing, there's no other way to explain it.<br/><br/>Is Akiyama in the wrong for going as harshly about it? For sure, but that doesn't change the fact that AJ stole from her, and was basically begging for her to grapple him.<br/><br/>Oh, and as far as being linked to it. You don't have to be linked to anyone to stalk them, but if it gets pulled far enough it can be considered sexual abuse. By that logic, yes, she returned the favor, though, in many ways, her doing it is far more justified since she 1) never "plays" with them beyond the initial realization, and 2) doesn't flaunt it around as though it was something she was happy about.
