"This place can be confusing at night," the Scarecrow said as he rounded the corner, heading for the main hall. "Not only are there monsters around, but Landel sometimes bewitches other patients, setting them up to guard certain areas. And some of them are more dangerous than the others."
His hand trailed to his arm idly, remembering the burns, the way his flesh had been ruined before he'd even known what was happening, and all the sensations that came with it. He never had found out more about the Burning Man, or if he was a patient at all.
Perhaps Carter had been right, and he had been killed. That did seem just awful, even if it was in self-defense. It was one thing to kill a witch with a pail of water while trying to save someone, for she had been wicked all along. Another patient, however... chances were he hadn't known he was hurting someone who wasn't looking to hurt him, much like Mele.
