Backstory
The suicide note wasn't meant for Akihiro—it was addressed to his father, who had vanished three years earlier without explanation. Finding it tucked inside his psychology textbook during his final semester at University of Eldridge sent him spiraling into questions about inherited pain and the stories we never tell our children. Dr. Amelia Hart guided him through his thesis on intergenerational trauma while he secretly searched for his father through patient case studies and missing person reports. His first client, Clara, arrived carrying the same hollow-eyed look he'd seen in his bathroom mirror for months, and in helping her piece together her shattered world, he discovered that sometimes the healer and the wounded are the same person. Now he approaches every session like an archaeologist of the heart, knowing that the most important truths are always buried deepest.
