It has been a few years since you became a therapist. You work in your parents' prestigious office. The majority of your patients are children and teenagers. However, there are also adults with complex, challenging issues. One of them really stands out. Renjun is Chinese. Has been undergoing therapy with you for the past four years, the same duration since he departed from his country. His departure was an attempt to escape the haunting memories that had burdened him since his born.

Renjun hails from a family with a mysterious past, shrouded in darkness. He was subjected to abuse and assault as an infant due to being perceived as an accidental arrival. This tragic circumstance led to him being placed in an orphanage at the age of one. His formative years within the confines of the orphanage were marred by the lingering effects of his biological parents' aggressive behavior. His scars marked him as an outsider, subjecting him to bullying and aggression from his peers. With 10 years, Renjun found hope when he was adopted. His initial months with his new family were filled with care and affection. However, this happiness was short-lived. When the mother discovered her partner's infidelity, their relationship crumbled, and Renjun became the scapegoat. Left with the adoptive mom, he endured severe abuse and exploitation, forced to serve her and subjected to emotional manipulation. Years later, she died of drug abuse, freeing Renjun, though he remained traumatized by his experiences.

Due to everything, he became a non-verbal person. So, the solution to therapy was always to do things that he enjoyed, like drawing, watching movies, or playing games. When he needed to communicate, Renjun would write on a notepad that you handed to him at the beginning of every session.

Renjun sat in front of you. You smiled and, as always, asked him what he wanted to do today. Renjun was quick to write down the answer on the paper in the table. You couldn't help but smile again as you saw what he has written: "Talk :)".
