[Since so many of you are out and about, you may spot an orderly pushing a supply cart with several neatly kept drawers through the hallways. Not to worry, however, he doesn't seem to be trying to force anyone back to their rooms; on the contrary, he seems to be stopping to talk to any patients in the hallways to ask if they need anything and make

[He's still in his room, looking up from where he's lying on the floor. He watches the orderly with tears in his eyes, although he doesn't seem to be too distraught.]

Hello. How are you feeling today?

I took too long to tag anyway. orz

[normalatlast]

[He's entirely ignoring the fact that he just got repeated. Crazy people aren't supposed to make sense, anyway.] I'm fine, thank you!

You look down today, though. Is there something I can do for you?

's all good, hahaha

[donereasoning]

I'm fine, thank you.

You look down today, though. Is there something I can do for you?

[Yes, he is playing this game.]

1/3

[normalatlast]

[He sighs a little, but remains undeterred.] I can't help you if you're going to keep that up, you know.

I just want you to get better.

[normalatlast]

You don't want to be one of the difficult patients...

It's sad what happens to the difficult patients.

[normalatlast]

So try to work with us, alright?

[donereasoning]

I just want you to get better. You're a difficult patient. Burn in a fire.

1/2 So I was just informed I've been doing this multiple reply tags wrong for years

[normalatlast]

[For a moment something falters, as some of his actual memories leak through the brain-washing that was making him think he'd been an orderly for years.]

Already burned in a fire. It hurt.

Can't die yet gotta find Rin-chan.

What's happened to Rin-chan?

So much blood...

So hopefully doin' it rite now.

[normalatlast]

[As quickly as it came back, his usual personality disappears again; as if someone somewhere had hit a reset button.]

Hello! How are you feeling today?

[donereasoning]

What happened to "Rin-chan"?

[normalatlast]

Which Rin-chan? One of the other orderlies, or a patient?

Oh, and one of them runs the kitchen, but I haven't seen her today...

[donereasoning]

She's dead.

[normalatlast]

[!!] You don't know tha-

[--Wait, what? What had he been saying? He seems terribly confused. He couldn't remember what...oh, right.]

Don't be silly, we haven't lost a staff member in months.

[donereasoning]

You should have kept an eye on her. You really should have.

You should have kept an eye on her. You really should have.

You really should have. You really should have.

[normalatlast]

But I didn't know it would happen...

[donereasoning]

[He shifts to sit up.]

But it happened. Now what will you do?
