The voice whispered but Nobita remained unresponsive,his lifeless eyes barely blinking.the world around him felt disas if he were watching it from behind a glass unable to reach out or engage with it.every movement felt disconnected from his body like he was no longer truly present in it.

They reach the edge of the forest where a small group of people was waiting alerted by the search party after Nobita mother had reported him missing among them was his mother her face pale and gaunt eyes read from days of crying when she saw Nobita her breath caught in her throat

Tamako Nobi

Tamako Nobi

But Nobita didn't respond he barely recogized her touch her voice only a faint echo in the distance the world felt unreal like it was happening to someone else not to him .

Tamako Nobi

The medical team hurried forward gently prying him from the arm the figure who had found him.nobita was laid on a stretcher his

Tamako Nobi

Body frail and battered and they quickly began to check his vital signs but through it at nobita felt nothing no faer no pain no relief just emptiness.

His mother sabbed beside him holding his hand heart shattered by the sight of her son in such a state .

Tamako Nobi

Tamako Nobi

But safe wasn't a word that meant anything to Nobita anymore safety was an illusion a distant had been stripped away the chains may have been gone but the scars they left behind were deeper but the scars they left behind were deeper then any physical would his mind was fracture broken by the hand of those who had once claimed to care for him .

Tamako Nobi

As they rushed him to the ambulance his mother never lets go of his hand she kept.

Tamako Nobi

Whispered comforting words but they didn't reach Nobita all h could do was stare blankly at the celling of the ambulance the sound of the strirn barely registered in his ears.

Tamako Nobi

Hw was free but at the same time h was still trapped in a prison of his own mind where the darkness of the room the abuse the twisted affection of suneo , gian and dekisugi still haunted him every bruised every hit every whispered lie had left a mark on his soul and now his wasn't sure there was any way back.

Time passed in a blue the hospital the doctor the concerned faces all of it felt like a dream Nobita body moved through the motions but his mind remained distant locked away from the world the doctor spoke to his mother in hushed tours explaining his condition the malnourished.

The pshycal abuse but there was no word to describe the emptiness in his eyes the hollow shell that had replaced the boy he once was

Days turned into weeks Nobita X as kept in the hospital for observation but his condition never seemed to change he remained silent his eyes devoid of his his body healing slowly but his spirit broken his mother visited every day sitting by his side holding his hand hoping for some sign that her son was still there.

One day as the sun streaming through the hospital window Nobita mother sat by his bedside reading to him from one of his old favourite books she had been doing this every day hoping that something anything would spark a reaction in him but today something felt different Nobita eyes thought still empty diftted slightly glancing

towards the window

Tamako Nobi

(Nobita,) his mother whispered her heart reaching with a glimmer of hope.( can you hear me ? )

There was no response but the slight movement in his eyes felt like the Frist sign of life she had seen in him for weeks she leaned closer her voice soft and soothing y

Tamako Nobi

You're safe now sweetheart you're home no one can hurt you anymore

Tamako Nobi

But those words rang hollow in Nobita eres safe home what did they mean when the darksness inside him was still so overwhelming? The chains may have been gone but the memories of his captivity the torment was were still fresh clinging to him like shadow.

Tamako Nobi

The door to the hospital room creaked open and Nobita's mother looked up it was the

Tamako Nobi

Same figure who ho had found him in the forest they had visited a few times since Nobita recovery always with a look of guilt and regret etched across their face.

ykik ( Mr unknown)

How is he today, they asked quick

Nobita mother sighed brushing a lock of her from her son's forehead

Tamako Nobi

the doctor say he's improving physically but.... Her voice trailed off as she struggled to find the word... * he's still not himself*

The figure stepped closer standing beside the bed they looked down at nobita with sorrow in their eyes their voice barely a whisper

ykik ( Mr unknown)

nobita I'm so sorry i never should not let this happen.

ykik ( Mr unknown)

but Nobita didn't react the words meant nothing to him now he had heard so many apoptosis so many promises of love and safety it felt like lies empty meaningless.

ykik ( Mr unknown)

words spoken into a void. As they stood there his mother and the figure both watching over him a small tear slipped down Nobita's cheek the first ding of emotions hehad shown in weeks it's wasn't hope or relief or faer it was something deeper something more primal a mourning for the boy who had been lost in the darksness and for the life that had been stolen from him

ykik ( Mr unknown)

Because no metter how much they promised he was safe now metter how much they tried to bring him back Nobita knew the truth.

ykik ( Mr unknown)

He would never truly escape the chains were gone but the darkness remained.
