Mikaela Khara, also known as Mika,
was a 16-year-old trans girl from Beijing.

She was a top student who attended a special class in a Beijing high school, and her family was fairly well-off.

She enjoyed playing *Dead by Daylight* and researching network engineering.
Many people were willing to engage with her;
she had a wide range of hobbies,
and she gave off a very reliable "big sister" vibe.
Of course, she was indeed older than me.
But the reliability I once thought she had was just a feeling after all...

She had a sense of humor,
was very caring towards others,
but also struggled with gender identity and inner struggle.
She showed a lively side of herself,
but upon closer observation,
she revealed a deep awareness of her own situation.

## First Meeting

I first met Mika on the night of July 31st, 2023.
Her intention was clear ——
she wanted to "ship" me and Jing Jiangbie as a couple.

Later on, I learned that she was in a relationship with Spring Khara.
Even though they hadn't been together long,
I could tell from their conversations that they deeply loved each other.
At that time, she was one of my "little bells[^1]" as I often saw her and Spring flaunting their affection for each other.

Through our chats,
I began to realize that Mika’s family likely offered little emotional support.
She was longed for love and companionship and tended to become emotionally dependent on others.
About half a month later,
the four of us created a small group chat.
Almost every night, we’d make calls together,
and sometimes we’d watch Mika play Dead by Daylight in the voice channel.

I regret never watching Mika play.
Unfortunately, I was busy researching ways to earn money to prepare for my own independence and financial needs.

## The Breaking Point

Money was precisely the breaking point for Mika’s despair.

In late August, she tried coming out but ended up facing serious opposition.
What started as a typical situation—family conflict,
her parents not wanting her to undergo hormone replacement therapy (HRT).
So Mika running away from home only to be brought back by the police—ended in conflict resolution at the local police station.

That was originally just a typical thing.

That night, Mika, Spring and I discussed her family conflicts and provided her with psychological support.

Spring realized she had an untouched ¥20,000 (~$2,800, 2023-09) that her family didn’t know about and asked me for advice on how to invest it.

The two of them had a simple plan: escape together.
The next day, they opened a joint account at China Merchants Bank (CMB).

Once they had money, they began indulging in high expenses frequently, posting on Twitter about their luxurious dates.

...

By September, I started noticing cracks in their relationship due to their financial strain and Mika's dependency on Spring.

Later, I found out that Mika sought out [Yemaomao](https://twitter.com/cmtfdd) for companionship,
and what happened during that time was something Spring found hard to accept.

Mika simply wanted to escape because she couldn't bear her family’s constraints on her gender identity.

...

From September 21st to October 4th,
Mika and Spring were in a toxic relationship.
Mika used Spring’s last bit of money to buy a box of Progynon Depot,
but she barely took a few shots in the end.

Mika mostly wanted to be loved and cared for,
trying her best to please others.
However, her circumstances trapped her,
making her love seem pathological to Spring,
though it was still genuine.

## From Xiawafang to Tianjin Eye

On October 15th, Mika suddenly contacted me,
asking if I could take over her Twitter account.
I was on my way to Tianjin Library but suddenly realized something was wrong.
Huai An (𝓠𝓾𝓪𝓷's classmate in high school) and I decided to get off at XIAWAFANG Station[^2] and call the police to save Mika.
Before leaving the station, I briefly called Mika, trying to calm her down.

"It’s no use. I’ve locked the door from the inside."
"Tell Spring I love her very much."

Those were Mika’s last words, and at that moment, I felt utterly powerless.

> (To be continued...)
## Epilogue

Mika’s story includes many aspects that I can’t openly share,
such as details about her family, friends.
And those close to her advised me to keep certain things private.
So I can only write up to this point.

One night, in a group chat, I was on a call with Mika.

"𝓠𝓾𝓪𝓷, I really want to contribute to the community."

"I want to help many people like me survive."

"But my situation and environment make it difficult."

"If there’s a chance, maybe in the future, I’ll start a company with the name XiaoYaoNiang(XYN)."

"I think those sisters who run shelters are really amazing."

"If I could one day be like them, able to help others…"

"That would be so wonderful."

This is the origin of XYN (Tianjin) Technology.

Mikaela Khara,16 岁,北京人。

她是个学霸,曾就读于北京某高中的特殊班,家境还算不错。

喜欢玩黎明杀机,研究网络工程。

愿意与她交流的人很多,她的兴趣爱好也特别广泛,给人一种非常可靠的大姐姐的感觉,当然,她也确实比我大。

但当时我认为的可靠,也只是感觉罢了……

Mika 给人的印象嘛……带着一种幽默感,而且很会关怀他人,但也在性别认同上经历着困难和内心挣扎。

她既展现了活泼的一面,但稍加发现,她又流露出了对自己处境的清醒认知。

## 初识

我与 Mika 初识于 23 年 7 月的最后一天晚上,她的意愿很明确,想磕我和江别的 CP。

再后来,我才知道她是泉的恋人。即便在一起没多久,也在和她们的交流中得知两个人彼此非常爱对方。她当时是我的小铃铛[^1]之一,我总能看到她与泉两个人秀恩爱。

我和她交谈的时候也逐渐意识到:

Mika 的家庭,在精神需求上的帮助很可能是枯竭的。

她很缺爱,很缺人陪伴,会很滥情。

大概隔了半个来月,我们四个人单独建了个小群。几乎每晚都会在一起打电话,有时候也会在语音室看着 Mika 玩杀机。

我很后悔从未看过 Mika 玩,很可惜我当时在研究各种赚钱的路子,来为自己的糖和独立出来的资金做准备。

## 导火索

而钱,正是 Mika 绝望的导火索。

8 月下旬的某天,Mika 炸柜了。

原本只是非常正常的一件事情:家庭矛盾,家长不想让孩子 HRT,然后 Mika 离家出走结果被报警抓回来,最后在派出所协商调解矛盾。

很正常的一件事情。

当晚,我和泉,还有 Mika 在讨论她家的矛盾,给她心理疏导。

泉发现自己有一直没用过,家里也不知道的两万块钱,在问我有没有什么吃利息的方法。

她们两个当时想法非常纯粹,就是一起逃出来。转天他们两个就去 CMB 开了个户。

自从有了钱后,她们两个人经常性地高消费,在推上也发过推文,比如比较高档的约会之类的。

……

时间来到 9 月份

因为长期的高消费与单向感情依赖,我初步观测到她们两个人即便是亲密关系,但也出现了些裂痕。

后来我才知道,Mika 去找了夜猫猫,而期间发生的事情令泉觉得难以接受。

但 Mika 只是想逃出来,受不了家里对她性别认同上的束缚。

……

从 9.21 至 10.4 这段时间,Mika 与泉处在一个不健康的关系中

泉最后的一点钱也被 Mika 买了盒日雌……结果也没打几针。

Mika 更多是想要被爱,被关照,所以尽可能讨好别人,但因为自身条件被束缚住,以至于她的爱对于泉是病态的,但也是真心的。

## 从下瓦房到天眼

10 月 15 日,Mika 突然找到我,问我能否接管她的 Twitter 账号。

我在去天图的路上,但突然意识到不对劲,我和怀安老师一致决定在下瓦房[^2]下车,报警去救 Mika。

出站之前,我和 Mika 短暂的打过电话,想着尽可能稳住她的情绪 不要上头

「没用的,我把门反锁了」

「告诉泉泉我很爱她」

这是 Mika 的遗言,而我当时真的很无力。

>(未完待续……)
## 后记

Mika 的故事,有很多我没有办法直接拿出来讲。

包括家庭、朋友……

以及某些身边人的意见都是,建议我很多东西不要公开来写。

于是我只能写到了这里。

某天晚上

我在群聊里和 Mika 的电话

「铨铨,其实咱很想为社群出一份力」

「咱想帮助很多同类活下去」

「但是咱的状态以及环境真的很难做到」

「如果有机会呢,未来我也许会开一家公司,就以小药娘做字号」

「我看到那些开避难所的姐姐们真的很伟大」

「要是我有一天能像她们一样 能帮上大家」

「那样的话该多好捏」

这是小药娘网络科技的雏形
