It's apparently Japanese for servant. She said he was born that way and was taken advantage of and then she took him in and made him harder to manipulate.

That doesn't surprise me. Japan is one of the world's biggest human traffickers.

here is what she told me when I asked her how he got that position of kerai:
"He's born that way
People have used and abused him with it his entire life.
And when I came into the picture I got sick of it
So I stepped up and took control of him
And I've melded his personality so he's harder for people to take advantage of I don't order him around. I hate being in this position
but it keeps him safe
so I deal with it
:C
and the mindset he has is an 'order' or sorts
to keep him safe from himself"

That still sounds like abuse. Try to get some more information.

They won't really tell me much more.
This confuses me.

The context of what that says implies that it's not an actual physical role but more of a mode of thinking, like they weren't even actually a real servant, just in a servant-like role. But that happens all the time, subservience/submissiveness in many relationships. I wouldn't call it real 'ownership'.

So, the kerai just sent me a massive message explaining some of his feelings, and he mentioned living in new York state and being autistic and friendless.
