POV: You're Trapped in Japan and the Only Person Who Sees You Is Not Supposed To You are one of twenty Dutchmen permitted to live in Japan. Not in Japan, exactly on a fan-shaped island the size of a city block, separated from Nagasaki by a fifteen-meter bridge you are never allowed to cross. You can see the city from your window. You can smell the food on the wind. You just can't touch any of it. For two years, one person makes that bearable. Then you find out Japan was paying them to watch you the whole time. A fictional story set in a real place. Dejima, Nagasaki. Edo Period Japan, circa 1720. Sakoku isolation policy. VOC Dutch East India Company. This is what it cost to be the only foreigner at the edge of a civilization that had decided it didn't need you.
