With assistance, we were able to break Nathan's conditioning last night; he is free, and himself, and they will not be able to recapture him in that way again. I have released him largely into the care of the regular medical staff, and I believe he is strong enough to entertain at least short visits.
Please bear in mind, those of you who wish to do so, that the past week has put nearly incalculable strain on Nathan's psyche; he will likely remain in something of a fragile state for some time while his mind continues to heal. I am, and will continue to be, shielding him as best I am able, but I ask you all to restrain yourselves in his presence if you can manage it. Imagine that Nathan is in a position analogous to that of an Olympic sprinter recovering from two broken legs, and of a courtesy please refrain from stepping on his toes.
You do not, however, need to feel obligated to practice that restraint anywhere in the mansion except Nathan's room. The past few weeks have been unusually stressful for all of us, and now that we seem to have weathered the storm a celebration would not go amiss.
Ah . . . but if I may be allowed a slight correction; please also restrain yourselves in the corridor outside my rooms, if you would, and the immediate air-space of my windows. We all celebrate in our own ways, and I owe myself a great deal of sleep, which I believe I will collect shortly.
