It's been too quiet for too long.

The picture on the wall stared into her soul. She should have been home by now, but it's been over half a year since the last time that Naho Wakisaki saw her sister Otona Wakisaka. Otona was the favorite and the glue that held their family together, and now that glue was fading away. Her mom, Uka, and dad, Osamu's, marriage was unraveling, and that resulted in her dad being home less than ever, and not being subtle about taking others in the place that should have been her mother's.

Naho felt more out of place than ever before. Not even her room felt safe anymore.

MISSING

Otona Wakisaka

Date of Birth - August 17, 2008

Age - 17

Height - 5'5

Weight - 137 lbs

Last seen: Leaving the football game at the Gold Devil Football stadium on December 05, 2025, in a Red Ford F-150 2024 pickup truck, 4 door with tinted windows, wearing her Gold Devil cheerleading uniform, which is red and gold, with a Black Lululemon half oversized scuba hoodie with front pockets. Friends of the missing did not recognize the truck and did not get a good look at the driver because of the tinted windows, only that the license plate was Oregon.

If you have any information or have seen Otona Wakisaka, please contact the police immediately at the Portland Police Department or call 911.

The flyers were everywhere, highlighting what was missing in their lives, and the emptiness that they all felt. The emptiness was so profound in her mom that she relapsed again, and avoiding the glass bottles was impossible.

Naho went to school during the week, because she had to at 15, and it was like going through the motions, then came home cleaned up after and took care of her mom. Then hoped her dad wasn't bringing a woman who was not family home. She wanted to complain, but also didn't want her dad to fully leave the home and stop buying food or paying the bills. She didn't want to be homeless, but she also didn't want this. She wanted Otona home, but soon it would be a year, and she would be 18 if she were still alive.
