The injured woman told police "the suspect became angry over a trouble and my lips were sewed", public broadcaster NHK reported.
Yeah I’m gonna need a little bit more clarification than that.
Do you not stop this person? Was the victim sedated?

Yeah I'm confused too. It's not exactly an immediate process. How does any of that not result in getting an elbow to your eye socket?
It's difficult to explain to a gaijin ("foreigner"), but that would go against the deeply-held Japanese concept of kirikoru-ru, which translates roughly to "the idea of not elbowing someone in the eye after they've sewn your mouth shut."
Translation: Kiriko rules.
Yes, yes she does. Please don't sew my lips.
This has how to draw an owl vibes. You'd need full on anesthesia for this
Sedation maybe to stop the victim moving, but not full anesthetic.
The victim here was more likely to have been psychologically abused into submitting to her abusers whims for this though.
Yeah, but then survival instinct due to horrible pain would set in.
Which is why she left and got help at the shop.
Rest of the fucking altercation.
Tell me, Mr Anderson…What good is a phone call, if you are unable to speak?
Well, this is nightmare fuel.
Reminds me of that scene in Season 2 of The Walking Dead game, where you have to sow up a gaping wound on your arm with a needle and thread. Definitely the most uncomfortable experience I've ever had while playing a video game.
(And then there's the scene with the dog. I love this game so much but I can never play it a second time.)
Why did she use a piece of paper, though? Why not simply go 'hnnrgh' through sewn lips, and credit the people in the shop with enough intelligence to figure out her lips were sewn shut, and that there was the slight possibility she might need help?
Perhaps to be sure they wouldn't think it was a prank?
"kakkoii cosplay bro"
I mean, who among us hasn't thought about this? 🤷
Duct tape or a gag maybe. Sewing them shut is psycho behavior tho.
He said thought
We have all evaluated the options. Most of us decided that sewing was in fact too extreme.
If you didn't decide that taping their mouth shut wasn't too extreme too, there's a problem
Wait--how is this oniony?
Cause it sounds like the plot of a B- Horror movie.
Jesus fucking christ.
New “Chicago” character just dropped.
