 What does it mean to start over by leaving everything—and everyone—behind? In this episode, We revisit memories from Ryu's younger years to understand the world of Jouhatsu, people who disappear to reset their lives in silence. Discover the fascinating, often heartbreaking, reasons behind Japan's phenomenon of voluntary vanishing, and the lives that continue in secrecy.
