When the leader begins detaching, don’t call it a schism, call it a science experiment. We’re all scientists. Ask the doctor-in-training to feed the leader cocktails. We’ll take notes: what induces transfiguration? When the leader can’t walk to the kitchen though he says his legs are moving, don’t call for help or question him. Say this is temporary. The leader’s just learning how to decipher lights, how to better knead lives. When the leader’s eyes dilate without injected medicines, don’t panic. Remind him it’s temporary. We are scientists. Call the doctor. We can solve this. It’s just a new life. It’s just the leader’s new eyes. Don’t we see? They are beautiful.
