Overview
In 2016, Daniel stayed at a Japanese guesthouse hoping to find a girlfriend while refusing dating apps, but faced romantic rejection, developed a nocturnal routine, and struggled with isolation and low mood.
A male guesthouse acquaintance initiated unsolicited physical contact with Daniel in the hallway, which led to an intimate encounter on a park bench that Daniel allowed despite initial resistance, after which both returned separately to their rooms.
