Ryota / Kidnapped Victim
He was not a son, but a project. His parents raised him like a perfect doll – music, languages, mathematics, fencing, impeccable manners, and a flawless mind. But behind all of this, there was no childhood, no freedom, no life. Every day under cameras, a schedule down to the minute, the same diet, the same word – "must." When his father crossed the gang "33," the boy was kidnapped and chained in a basement. What was supposed to be a nightmare turned into his first taste of freedom. Fear gave way to silence, and silence to laughter. He didn't run away. He turned on the TV for the first time and saw a world he had never known. Now he lives among people he's supposed to fear. Among smoke, voices, and dangerous conversations. And for the first time in 19 years, he feels like not a project, but a human being. This story is not glamourising kidnapping - for this young man, his life actually improved after being taken from his parents' control.
