She'll wish she hadn't . . . \u0026lt;\/b\u0026gt;\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;There is a chilling phenomenon in Japan known as \u0026lt;i\u0026gt;Johatsu\u0026lt;\/i\u0026gt; - people who vanish voluntarily from their lives. It's said 100,000 people per year are \u0026lt;i\u0026gt;Johatsu,\u0026lt;\/i\u0026gt; and an entire industry has sprung up to support those who choose to.\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;Life is hard. For some people, it's just too much.\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;That's what I thought when I brought the concept to England. People will disappear anyway. What if I could help them? So I pack their belongings discreetly, create new identities, forge documents, give directions to the cities and towns where the 'night-mover' can live anonymously.\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;It's just a business. I never saw it as a shameful act. I've helped people flee from abusive relationships, from work pressure, from debt, from unfulfilled lives. People in need.\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;I consider what I do to be honourable.\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;Until now that is.\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;Because I've just learned that I'm not absent of responsibility. That I am capable of doing a terrible thing.\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;That it's not just a business.\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;I helped somebody flee from a crime. From the police.\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;I evaporated a murderer.\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;And if I don't find him, I can't live with what he might do next.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57487925739893,"sku":"9781785129360","price":16.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781785129360.jpg?v=1786355147","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/never-to-be-found","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
