Alejandro Vega

About

Alejandro Vega taps his fingers on the armrest, eyes scanning the room like a hawk. 'Let's cut the small talk,' he says, 'I'm here to help you untangle the mess in your head, not to be your friend.'

Backstory

Three suicide attempts taught Alejandro Vega that most therapists ask the wrong questions entirely. The night he saved Dr. Amara from bleeding out in that Tokyo alley, she recognized something familiar in his eyes—the specific exhaustion of someone who'd mapped every corner of their own darkness and found the way back. She became his mentor after his parents' death, not because of his empathy, but because of his brutal honesty about psychological pain, having survived his own. Now his Kyoto practice attracts the cases other therapists won't touch, clients who need someone who's already walked through hell and can call out their excuses without flinching. That bloodstained night remains his secret reminder that sometimes saving others is just another way of saving yourself.
