Hail, wise Sages. I beseech thee, advise me. For 'tis a matter close to my heart of which I speak.
My friend, dearest to my heart of all men, is mad. I know not how to aid in his recovery, and he realizes not his affliction. He is cruel, and petty, and treats others as though they were naught but slaves. This was not so not too long ago. He was ever kind, and didst often speak with the lowliest of washer-women as though she were a lady, noble born.
I...know not how I may reach him. He will not speak with me concerning anything of consequence, seeking only pleasure or amusement. Will you aid me?
