PATIENT REPORT: Jacob Silas Baxter
--
Managed to to talk with the patient today. He's very quiet, very closed off from the world. He has agreed to write his confession, on the terms that it never be published.
Poor kid. I don't think he even realizes what he's done.

PATIENT REPORT: Jacob Silas Baxter
--
The patient was taken for questioning today, despite my arguments. I told them not to, they'll probably ruin all we've been working towards.
I've notified the staff that he may have changed when he returns.

We've prepared for the worst.

PATIENT REPORT: Jacob Silas Baxter
--
He's nearly gone. I have all my best staff on this case, but I think we're going to lose him.
I've gotten nearly a full confession , though. It's horrifying, what he's been through- what he's put himself through.
The most terrifying part is that he shows no remorse.

PATIENT REPORT: Jacob Silas Baxter
--
It's over.
He's gone.
We lost him.

The burial is Friday. We've notified the family we could find (most of them are off the grid- just like he should've been). The girl is attending as well.
