[it's a very boring story, a tale as old as time: he's a poor boy from a poor family, one so fractured that it isn't really a family by the time he's forced to leave, but leaving is a mistake as he quickly finds himself out of gil and out of luck. no one in the area is looking for unskilled labor — in fact, there's not much in the area to begin with. still, he's young, and fairly attractive, and there are people who prey on boys and girls like him, children who've known nothing but the slums. he needs food, shelter, safety. he's in danger every minute he's asleep on the streets.

and so — when the recruiter comes looking for young men and women who will help entertain some wealthy guests — out of desperation, he agrees to what he knows will be the end of his innocence. he knows what he's bargaining — he knows he's made his choice.]
