Idea

A well educated young girl named Layla leaves her house with her headphones on. She walks down the street listening to some music. She is then being stalked by a strange figure but does not notice. after a few minutes of being followed, the stalker attacks her. Layla saw a shadow coming from behind and turnd to block the attack. Jonathan stops and is startled by her defence and stops wrestling with her. He breaks down and cries. Layla starts to question why he is attacking her. He then starts to say sorry and explains that he is trying to cope with the loss of his girlfriend and didn't mean to cause her any harm.

He realises that all the times he had been attacking and stealing off other girls, it was not their fault for the break up of their relationship. He decides to amend the problem and give back items from all thevictims  he had attacked.

Development notes -

Learns to let go.

Layla doesn't have to have a martial arts background. If so maybe we see her leaving training?
