I’m the male member who asked the question at https://universe-club.jp/help/questions/view/2401.

Maezawa from the Corporate Planning Office here as well. I think the advice from Saito♪ is probably the best. That said, unfortunately, I don’t know the details, so this is only speculation. Normally, if the perpetrator is unknown, I imagine it would be difficult for the police to obtain a warrant, so they would probably ask for cooperation with the investigation. In that situation, if there is a man among Universe’s members who is making threats, Universe would want to forcibly terminate his membership as soon as possible. So naturally, they would want the perpetrator identified quickly. If the police properly issue a formal investigative inquiry in accordance with the law, there would be no reason for us not to cooperate, and I believe we would do so. Universe wants its members to build happy relationships with one another, so we cannot tolerate anyone who tramples on that. We would want to cooperate with the police as much as possible—within the bounds of the law, of course—and see the matter resolved as quickly as possible. However, it is not our intention for an unrelated man to be put at a disadvantage. So if this is treated as cooperation with the investigation, I feel it may be possible to inform the man to some extent as well.

I’m Saito, the column writer♪ I sincerely apologize for not reading your post carefully enough. I’m not sure whether I should say this, but if the situation were to escalate, I have a feeling that Universe might contact you in advance as part of its cooperation with the investigation… I seem to remember there was a similar case involving something like this before. ↑ Please delete this if there’s any problem. I thought the questioner might still be able to see it now. More than anything, it may be best for the woman herself to report the matter to the club. (I apologize if she has already contacted them. Surprisingly, I’ve heard of several cases like this, and my advice is to proceed in this order: **report it to the club → consult a lawyer → contact the police**.) I hope Z’s anxiety is eased, and that the relationship between you and Z remains a good one.
