The 42-year-old female victim escaped the house in the city of Koga, rushed to a nearby shop and held up a piece of paper that read "please help me", Makoto Hiyama, a senior local police official, said.

Wait--how is this oniony?

Jesus fucking christ.

New “Chicago” character just dropped.

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.)

Tell me, Mr Anderson…What good is a phone call, if you are unable to speak?

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?

This has how to draw an owl vibes. You'd need full on anesthesia for this

[-] rustydrd@sh.itjust.works 6 points 6 hours ago

Rest of the fucking altercation.

[-] unknown@piefed.social 9 points 13 hours ago

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.

[-] Drusas@fedia.io 1 points 45 minutes ago

Yeah, but then survival instinct due to horrible pain would set in.

[-] LouNeko@lemmy.world 21 points 16 hours ago

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?

[-] PP_BOY_@lemmy.world 56 points 15 hours ago

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."

[-] AwesomeLowlander@sh.itjust.works 7 points 14 hours ago

Translation: Kiriko rules.

Yes, yes she does. Please don't sew my lips.

[-] finallymadeanaccount@lemmy.world 13 points 13 hours ago

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?

[-] kahoodd@reddthat.com 4 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 7 hours ago)

well, actually...

[-] wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz 5 points 7 hours ago

Perhaps to be sure they wouldn't think it was a prank?

[-] PervServer@fedinsfw.app 3 points 13 hours ago

"kakkoii cosplay bro"

[-] Carighan@piefed.world 9 points 16 hours ago* (last edited 16 hours ago)

I mean, who among us hasn't thought about this? 🤷

[-] dan1101@lemmy.world 27 points 14 hours ago

Duct tape or a gag maybe. Sewing them shut is psycho behavior tho.

[-] quick_snail@feddit.nl 2 points 13 hours ago
[-] kevincox@lemmy.ml 1 points 7 hours ago

We have all evaluated the options. Most of us decided that sewing was in fact too extreme.

[-] quick_snail@feddit.nl 1 points 25 minutes ago

If you didn't decide that taping their mouth shut wasn't too extreme too, there's a problem
