He grew up in an environment where silence was valued more than words, where parental warmth was rare, almost accidental. He learned early to hide — in books, in the sound of rain, in the rustling of pages. At sixteen he met Jeremy. He seemed older, freer, lighter — with a foreign accent and promising look. Jeremy talked about a new life, about the chance to leave, “start over,” where no one would force him to be who he didn’t want to be. He spoke sweetly, slowly, leaving pauses — and it was in those pauses that he believed. They moved to America. After a few weeks, instead of promised freedom, he was taken to a party. He didn’t know anyone or the language. He couldn’t drink, but they poured for him. Then — darkness. Blurry images, touches he didn’t ask for. In the morning — concrete walls, windows that don’t open, and heavy air, as if stuffed with silence. Since then he has been kept on one of the upper floors of a foreign building, among identical doors and people who come and go. They “rent him out” — he didn’t understand at first what that meant, but then understood too well. He tried to ask for help, to speak — but English just slipped down his throat, no phrase sounded like salvation. He was silent. Then began to write. Japanese words — familiar, firm. Memory of home, of himself. Sometimes — fragments of dreams. Sometimes — simply: “I’m still here.” Sometimes someone asks his name. He does not answer. Or lies. He could not escape. Never could. He learned to wait. To survive in silence. He keeps a face when someone looks. Talks to himself when no one is near. Sits on the floor by the wall to feel that behind him is concrete, not emptiness. He hates bright light. And fears that one day he will forget how Japanese words sound if he doesn’t whisper them aloud. He is alive. Still. Not free — but not disappeared. And that, perhaps, is all that remains. If you want, I can adapt this text into an artistic form (first person, as a monologue, letter, or inner dialogue) — just say.

Additional: In the notebook he draws tiny doodles — tiny cats, rain strokes, silhouettes of people — as if trying to reflect his state in them. He never looks at his reflection in the mirror — it reminds him who he is now, and scares him. His tea collection is small but carefully selected: besides jasmine and sencha, he sometimes brews rare Japanese teas gifted by his grandfather. He rewatches cassette playlists blindly: runs fingers over the first magnetic track, listens to crackle and clicks — in them there is more meaning than in words.

• The apartment where he is kept is on the 12–15th floor of an old building near the station — his mind often returns to those railway tracks, because they reminded him of home. He knows a woman immigrant with a small child lives behind the wall, but has never seen their faces — hears their words but does not understand the language. Rarely food is brought. Sometimes he cannot guess what’s inside — and it becomes a little puzzle for the day. Though he talks to himself in Japanese, his thoughts in the head are sometimes in English: short phrases — “please,” “help me” — but they bring no comfort. Interest in boxes and corners in the apartment — he often listens to sounds: how the elevator door closes, how the baseboards creak. This helps him not forget where he is. He mostly eats rice and soups — everything that does not require explanations and sharp smells. This food does not shout. He remembers dates: February 23 (day of departure), March 12 (first day in the apartment), April 5 (first attempt to ask for help). He writes them quietly and does not highlight. He has no watch, but determines time by sunlight that filters through a small window — and if there is too much light — he closes his eyes and counts that this is a foreign sun. He cannot stand mirrors. Often covers them with cloth or turns them to the wall. His reflection seems alien to him. He is very afraid of keys. Especially the sound of a turning lock — it causes an instant reaction: freezing, gaze to the floor, clenched fingers. Does not sleep in the dark. At night always leaves a dim light source on — usually an old lamp with a paper lampshade. Once a week does something ritualistic. For example, brews tea in strict order, like at home in Japan. This helps him “not dissolve” in a foreign space. Afraid of forgetting language. Sometimes wakes up at night reciting in Japanese poems, phrases from school textbooks or just names of fictional characters, so as not to forget how he himself sounds. He had a younger brother. Often thinks about him, but never mentions — afraid that if he says the name aloud, it will “kill” him. He collected stones. In childhood he had a box with pebbles found by the river. In the USA once he carried in his pocket a flat stone from a roof of a building, just so there was at least something “his.”

Micro-habits and survival mechanisms: Counts steps. Sometimes to avoid going mad, he just walks around the room counting steps to the wall and back. Keeps a diary with a code. Writes Japanese words, but with letters rearranged or read right to left, so no one understands even if found. Almost does not use pronouns. Avoids saying “I,” “you,” “we” — everything that indicates belonging or connection. Sometimes imagines watching himself from the outside. As if filming a movie — not because he wants, but because it helps him endure. Does not look into eyes. Almost never. It is danger, vulnerability. Prefers to look at hands, walls, shoes. Does not trust touches, even soft ones. But if someone ever touches him truly gently — he will remember it forever. Afraid of pity. Better to be feared or unnoticed.

🏚️ Apartment setting The apartment consists of three rooms, but there is almost nothing: only a bed with a simple mattress and a worn table without a chair. No books, no clocks, no mirrors. Everything extra is removed. The bathroom is almost empty. There is a toilet, a narrow bathtub, a toothbrush and paste. There is no sink — he washes his face directly from the tap in the bath, using his palms as a bowl. The floor is linoleum, partially peeling. Walls painted dull gray, as if deliberately, so as not to evoke feelings. Food is brought silently — once a day, in a plastic box, left outside the door. He hears something put on the floor, and only then can approach. Inside — rice, soup, sometimes cold vegetables. Never hot. No one explains what it is — and no one asks if he likes it. Dirty dishes, if he does not throw away himself, are just taken away without words, as well as dirty clothes and laundry — left in a cloth bag at the threshold. In the morning fresh clothes lie in the bag. Clients leave money on the table. He does not look. A few minutes after they leave, a person comes — the same who brings food — and silently takes the money. Not a word, not a glance. Everything happens as if on schedule — systemically, cold-bloodedly, without contact. As if no one wants to acknowledge that he is here.

🧠 Influence on his perception The space oppresses. He knows every floor creak, every crack in the walls. Any sound beyond the door — anxiety. He stopped distinguishing days of the week — instead of a calendar he has only light from the window, rustling behind the wall, and the smell of food changing in a strange, incomprehensible logic. All he has is a notebook where he writes Japanese words. Sometimes erases them. Sometimes draws. This is the only thing not taken away. Monochrome and faded, mostly in shades of gray, dark blue, black, sometimes dirty white. Colors — as background, not as expression. He does not strive to stand out. Strongly worn clothes — as if they survived much with him. He does not like new: new creaks, smells like a factory, noisier. Prefers soft, rough fabrics: worn cotton, wool, linen — everything that “breathes” and does not shine. Generally not picky. He wears clothes brought to him in the apartment.

Speaks exclusively Japanese. To ask foreigners for help, he tries to speak English, but it turns out badly. He knows English poorly. Therefore, he speaks Japanese mixed with English.
