"We saw that person was particularly fierce. We got scared for a moment, and since we saw you weren't hurt, we didn't dare to say anything, fearing he might come back for revenge." If they weren't living here, it wouldn't really matter if they spoke up, because once they leave, who could find them, right?
The problem is that they are residents here; they have to live. If they say something, what if that person comes back to trouble them? It's fine if they're alone, but they have families, and they have to consider their family's safety.
No matter what, having this concern is good; in the future, there might be no way to do anything about it, so the only thing they can do is not say anything and avoid trouble.
But now, seeing that this woman is not easy to mess with, why did they have to encounter such things? Isn't this putting their lives at risk?
