For quite some years there was a man living in a cave he’d dug outside the university of Oslo. He had some kind of self-made cosmic religion.

After a while he was banned from lectures since he was foul smelling, and eventually he was brought into an institution since his leg got all crippled. This was notably after he’d won a trial which underlined his right to practice his so-called religion.

But of course, this doesn’t come close to the story at hand in any aspect.

People can sometimes be left to their own means, protected and helped by others more fortunate as regards to food and whatever they will accept.

Such people can indeed look and act wild, but being human, still socialise and interact according to their own wishes. This is also true in 1st world countries where there is enough space and thus privacy, for people to ‘do their own thing’.

When Mystery Man says the Japanese paper indicates that her hands had been bound for a long time, that does suggest slavery and escape with a fellow captive might seem like a reasonable scenario.
