Chapter 2

Patient was admitted following an attack on (by on what all accounts appears
to be) a random passerby. City guards were summoned and arrested the patient
who was foaming at the mouth and screaming incoherently.

After being transferred here and left in a cell, he entered a state of
intermittent catatonia with episodes lasting up to 48 hours. Attending
invokers were unable to use shock therapy to remediate this state and the
patient seemed resistant to further shock treatment when in periods of
ambulation.

(I send my heartfelt condolences to the invoker's family following the last
treatment. The patient will no longer be allowed near mirrors.)

Further treatments of ice baths, hypnosis, bloodletting, and burr holing
proved equally fruitless with the patient growing more and more agitated at
what he refers to as 'The Anti-Tone'. Common religious delusions of a looming
apocalypse are present when the patient is agitated but signs of lucidity and
calmness are reported when music is present. Encouraging his aptitude in music
theory seems to have a sedating effect and the patient often reports a desire
to become healthy again when he is calm. We have granted him further freedoms
including walks through the building and garden, paper and pens for music
notation, and rudimentary musical instruments that would be difficult to use
to cause harm.

The patient is often found staring out the westward window of the building
while writing odes to what he refers to as 'the last, safe place'. The
patient's release will be impossible until these delusions are removed but I
remain optimistic about further treatment. He will be given further privileges
as his prognosis brightens.
