Let $y=y(x)$ be the solution of the differential equation

$$\frac{\mathrm{d} y}{\mathrm{~d} x}+\frac{2 x}{\left(1+x^2\right)^2} y=x \mathrm{e}^{\frac{1}{\left(1+x^2\right)}} ; y(0)=0.$$

Then the area enclosed by the curve $f(x)=y(x) \mathrm{e}^{-\frac{1}{\left(1+x^2\right)}}$ and the line $y-x=4$ is ________.

Answer (integer) 18
