Story 2 has a dual perspective between an idol and her obsessive fan. The fan descends into madness, but it felt like they could have agreed on some things if they merely talked casually (Yuma wasn't a fan of the Lolita look that the fan hated, nor her manager caring more about her fame / money than her happiness / life). In the end though, it still came down to crazed possessiveness. Similar to Metamorphosis ending

So made it through the second story. This really seems to be less of a cautionary tale, and more of a "they got theirs" tale about these horrible incel stalkers dying for trying to harm the idols. There is a hint in the 2nd story that the man in story 1 might have survived / woken up a changed man, which could be nice (could also interpret it as the characters not knowing he committed suicide / died to himself).

Still early on the first short story. It is nice to come back to a more traditional real world novel (some of the descriptive elements and allegory / metaphor and stuff that LN doesn't deal in present here).
First story sees an incel having a "Your Name" style event, his body morphing into the idol he idolizes, him having to reflect on his creepy nature when he encounters a similar weirdo stalking him.
