Lets it sit for a while. Intends not to respond. Can't it already be enough to…? But at last picks up the forge and types. This is a clinic, after all. The person on the other end could be worse; people can get triggered. He doesn't need to be the looniest tune.]
[switches to video to show his improved appearance: burns nearly healed]
Look.
[The option is appealing not to engage. On the other hand, is genuinely interested in diverse perspectives on the current situation-and perhaps a look at external madness to gauge his own current similarity to it…]
[a shadow crosses his face of incredible outrage. As instantly, like a spirit had entered him only long enough to continue passing on through, all energy and intensity drop again. His eyes go dull, face haggard, exhausted.

Yes, it could be both…

you're harder to follow than most people, you know
you're standing below flawed architecture. if everything is seen through the filter of your perception, and your perception can be tricked, how can you distinguish between "real" and "not real". if i see lights in a dark room, if i really see them, but you see nothing, which is the truth? if you've gone mad but everyone around you acts as though you're sane, which is the truth? if something you had learned was impossible happens, is it a lie, or a trick, or were you wrong the first time? occam's razor says there can only be one thing: sane or not sane, dead or not dead, real or not real.

A Buddhist monk asks a Zen Master-
What is inapplicable? Calling the words "paradoxical"? Calling them "truth"? -Or are you accepting the designation "Master"? or playing after all…?
(Well, had nearly admitted as much with "both"…)
Unbidden, something "Jack Dawkins"-
Artful Dodger Phantom of the Opera poisonous mist yeah tell me I'm not dreaming that these aren't from my head
-had said written flashes into his mind. "common reference doesn't entail common origin." Why did that feel so important… so obvious yet like he was missing an aspect of it…
Quotation source-Laozu-inapplicable…?
His head hurts from the gears whirring. For a moment he pushes it all aside.]

Still something of a prayer even in the automatically, defensively cynical-but genuinely dazed,]
