Scarecrow of 1889

There once was a boy who was an orphan and suffered abuse from his village residents. The only friend he had was the dummy scarecrow on the field, whom he talked to. One day, a wealthy man brutally beat the boy. The next morning, the wealthy man was found dead, and the scarecrow was covered in blood.  Terrified, the villagers were convinced that the scarecrow had come to life to avenge its tormented friend. And it was the last scarecrow ever placed again in the fields, considering it a sign of death.  —   After scarecrow dolls begin appearing in the streets of Riddleford next to murder victims, the town is thrown into chaos. When the hunt for the mystery scarecrow murderer begins, it is only a matter of time before the famous Frontier Hall Opera House employees are subjected to suspicion, each protecting a secret of their own. But is that all that is going on? Or is there something unseen?

Found truth

Dr. Hall continued to study Sylvester and his alter egos, holding five sessions a week, each lasting three hours. He shared his reports with his senior, Dr. Wright, seeking his guidance after Sylvester had attempted suicide. During this period, Dr. Hall refrained from pressing Sylvester to engage with his other alter egos, allowing him to come to terms with the trauma inflicted by his mother. Sylvester often remained quiet and withdrawn, avoiding interaction with other patients.

Meanwhile, Ricardo found solace in reading books, a habit that seemed to calm him. Agnes spent more time in the garden, tending to plants and enjoying the peace. Marcello, on the other hand, was indulging himself with ice cream and wandering through the corridors, seemingly carefree.

In one of the sessions, Dr. Hall put Sylvester back under hypnosis and called for Agnes.

"Yes, doctor?" Agnes asked.

"Have you been enjoying your time in the garden?" Dr. Hall inquired.
