[The camera view is different, more like a surveillance camera than the webcamera he's been using: image quality is lower, more grainy and the lighting is dimmer, with a bluish tinge.]

[The walls and floor of the room are covered in white padding: the view is from an upper corner, looking down from an angle.]

[Muraki sits crouched in a corner: a straitjacket is wrapped about his torso and his hair has been cropped. His head is bowed, his face hidden from the camera.]

[After a moment, he looks up, eying the camera out of the corner of his left eye.]

Well, it happened. You found me. You marked me as a lunatic.

But even lunatics have their right to some level of dignity.

I've been in "for observation" for perhaps a day. The [sarcastically] good doctors here have denied my access to a time piece, among many other things.

[Has found a strap that's within reach as is gnawing on it, stops to speak] It's what happens when your superiors don't quite share the same vision as you do, when it comes to your experiments...

You're lookin' like they went experimental on you there, almost.

[That slightly unhinged laugh again] That's one way to describe it, and considering the chemical cocktail with which they flooded my bloodstream.
