Obsession
To me the saddest detail is the fact that one of the lastest things Nikki did was giving him the chance to express his feelings for her even though it wasn't even her responsibility, and instead of doing that, he chooses not to tell her how he feels and makes his wish.
Like she knew he had feelings for her, and she did the best she could to make things less awkward and save their friendship, and then this guy essentially wishes he could fuck her against her will.
The scariest part of the movie is the fact that there are so many people like him out there.
