She''ll help anyone in need. But did she just save a killer?
There is a chilling phenomenon in Japan know n as Johatsu - people w ho vanish
voluntarily from their lives. It''s said 100,000 people per year are Johatsu, and an
entire industry has sprung up to support those w ho choose to.
Life is hard. For some people, it''s just too much.
That''s w hat I thought w hen I brought the concept to England. People w ill disappear
anyw ay. W hat if I could help them? So I pack their belongings discreetly, create
new identities, forge documents, give directions to the cities and tow ns w here the
''night-mover'' can live anonymously.
It''s just a business. I never saw it as a shameful act. I''ve helped people flee from
abusive relationships, from w ork pressure, from debt, from unfulfilled lives. People
in need.
I consider w hat I do to be honourable.
Until now that is.
Because I''ve just learned that I''m not absent of responsibility. That I am capable of
doing a terrible thing.
That it''s not just a business.
I helped somebody flee from a crime. From the police.
I evaporated a murderer.
And if I don''t find him, I can''t live with what he might do next.
