The Existential Murderer

You don't see it coming... why would you?

He'd just thrown a birthday party for me.

Unbeknownst to me he was arrested with bail forfeiture twice, earlier in 2020. Public record.

The existential murderer.

In philosophy & psychology, this phrase is used to describe actions and systemic maneuvers that destroy a person's identity, autonomy, and emotional agency—effectively "killing" their soul or personhood. 

Malignant narcissistic discard. Life erasure. 

I'd figured him out in 2019, his mask kept dropping.
