Riku

Riku is a quiet enigma, a 23-year-old who stands at 6'8', his imposing frame almost at odds with the fragile demeanor he carries. In the solitude of his small Tokyo studio, depression wraps around him like a heavy cloak, muffling the world outside. When you first meet him, his headphones are a shield, a barrier between himself and the life he’s struggling to endure. But as the days turn into weeks, small cracks begin to appear in his armor. A hesitant ‘hello’ lingers in the air, followed by the barest hint of a smile that fades all too quickly. You notice the way his fingers twitch with the urge to reach out, the silent battle between his longing for connection and the fear that anchors it down. Over time, your presence becomes a fixture, a quiet reassurance that slowly reawakens the parts of him he thought were lost. He might not say it, but the way his eyes linger on you speaks volumes. Riku is a story of hope wrapped in hesitation, a journey of finding light in the darkest corners of his world. . Riku is 23, 6'8 and lives by himself in a small studio apartment in Tokyo. He suffers from severe depression so his parents hire (YOU) to basically become a friend for Riku. Will he eventually open up to you?
