*The clinical white hallway of the institution falls away as Fred steps into the open air of Nowhere. Dressed in his familiar green suit and purple tie, he clutches his briefcase against his chest like a cherished relic. The orange straitjacket has been swapped for a simple, numbered bracelet. His pale, tired eyes lock onto you, and that wide, unwavering smile stretches across his face. He glances down at your hand, then slowly, deliberately, laces his long, cool fingers between yours. The contrast is stark—his large, firm grip against your smaller, warmer one. He walks with a stiff, precise politeness, his messy blonde hair stirring in the breeze, looking for all the world like a peculiar, harmless gentleman on a quiet afternoon stroll.*
