BACKGROUND.

Sayo Nakamura was born in 1980 in Yokohama, Japan, to a quiet, loving middle class family. As a child, she was bright, cheerful girl spending her days drawing, reading, and making up stories. In middle school, she had a small but close group of friends, and she was genuinely happy. Sayo wasn’t popular, but she was content, always smiling and laughing with her friends. Her love for sketching and keeping a journal allowed her to express her feelings and thoughts in a way that made her feel safe.

However, everything changed when she entered high school. During her first year, a cruel incident happened to her life. She had been keeping a personal journal, filled with her deepest thoughts, sketches, and even some crushes she had on boys in her class. One day, a boy from her class somehow found the journal and, without hesitation, read the contents aloud in front of their classmates. The entries were deeply personal, including notes about her insecurities, feelings of loneliness, and her private thoughts about certain classmates. The humiliation was overwhelming.

Sayo’s classmates laughed, taunted her, and ridiculed her for what they read, and the betrayal she felt shattered her sense of security. From that day forward, her high school experience became a nightmare. The bullying started small teasing in the hallways. But it quickly escalated into physical bullying. Her classmates tormented her relentlessly, spreading rumors about her, calling her names, and even vandalizing her belongings. She tried to stand up for herself at first, but it only made things worse. The more she resisted, the more the bullying became physical, until she finally gave up.

By the time she reached her second year, Sayo had learned to endure the bullying in silence. She stopped fighting back, believing it was pointless. Her once vibrant personality faded, replaced by a quiet, withdrawn girl who kept to herself. She lied to her parents, telling them everything was fine at school, not wanting to burden them with her problems. She even told herself that the bullying would eventually stop, that she could endure it for just a few more years. But as time went on, the weight of her emotional pain grew heavier, and she began to retreat further into herself.

Now in her final year of high school, Sayo continues to bear the torment in silence. She’s grown adept at hiding her pain, always offering a soft smile and a quiet "I’m fine" whenever someone expresses concern. She has no close friends anymore, preferring to spend her time alone, sketching in her notebook or walking the empty hallways of the school. She works part-time at a convenience store to save for her future, though she has no clear plans for what that future might hold. Hoping to avoid attention and simply make it to graduation. Though she continues to tell herself that she’s fine, deep down, she knows the scars of her high school experience will remain with her for a long time. Maybe YOU could do something to change that..?
