In this case, the woman suspected she was being stalked to the point that when she emerged from the elevator, she ran to get away. My argument is that she should have declared her intention long before that, because, as we saw, she did NOT escape, and exposed herself to being knifed (or worse) when he caught up with her.
Had he known she had a gun and was prepared to use it, he may have opted to get off on another floor. Or to vacate the building entirely.
I know what you’re saying. I’m just don’t think I could pull it off.
It is really frightening to confront a man when you’re not one.
