Living in the todays society - were sexual harassment and assaults are a common topic on the news and in everyday conversations - she naturally gets suspicious and afraid of the risk of been attacked by this lone stranger, sitting in the dark and covered in a dark hoodie.
Lessons from self-defense courses during the years kicks in - the quickest way to easily disarm an attacker is to go for their eyes - so she arms herself with her keys in her bag to use in self-defense if the suspicion would become reality. But is this guy harmless or dangerous?
Both are victims of the times today, were women are afraid of been outside alone at night and every man a suspect of doing harm.
