1. Observation & Research
Joe starts by gathering as much information as possible about his target. He stalks their social media, learns about their interests, habits, and weaknesses. He builds a psychological profile to know what they need or lack in life.

2. Infiltration & Creating “Coincidences”
He then inserts himself into their world by making their meetings seem accidental. He appears to be in the right place at the right time, making it seem like fate brought them together.

3. Becoming the “Perfect” Person
Joe adapts his personality and interests to mirror what the target desires. He listens intently, remembers details, and presents himself as someone who truly understands and supports them.

4. Isolation & Manipulation
Once he gains their trust, he subtly isolates them from others who might challenge his influence. He makes them feel like he is the only person who truly cares about them while discrediting anyone who poses a threat.

5. Control & Escalation
As his obsession grows, he takes extreme measures to maintain control, whether it’s manipulating situations, eliminating perceived threats, or making sure the target remains dependent on him.

6. Justification of Actions
Throughout it all, Joe convinces himself that his actions are for the greater good. He sees himself as a protector, even when he does objectively harmful things.
