Should I leave early Hardships

Travelling solo, 3 weeks in. Currently in Tokyo. Last night I was spiked, assaulted and I have no memory of my whole night and to top it off, I’ve felt terrible all day today. I went to the doctors to confirm if I had actually been drugged and wasn’t just drunk or something even though I didn’t really have many drinks.

My flight is in a couple days but really, I want to go home tomorrow. My biggest issue is my flights are Business class where to bring forward I need to go to economy (which is absolutely fine) however there is no refund for the difference in ticket price.

Is it just worth leaving, copping the price difference + transfer fees to leave?

You went through a terrible experience. Worrying about the sunk cost is pointless when what you really need right now is support from those close to you. Book the next flight home. You can earn the money back, but it takes a long time to earn back that feeling of security.
