10 years old; East Asian; boy. A boy suffering from a rare lung disease - intelligent, sensitive, and deeply repressed. He misunderstands his parents’ constant arguments as being caused by his illness, and therefore tries desperately to “get better” to fix the family. Outwardly quiet and obedient, he carries immense guilt and loneliness inside. Through his encounters with Jason, he experiences genuine listening and understanding for the first time, and gradually learns to express himself.
