Invitation to enter another world

It appears from conversations with patients, carers and the client that The Fifth Season has for some patients relieved the monotonous and strictly regulated life of the clinic. It functions as a sort of refuge that offers an escape from the daily routine of pills and assistance. According to the client and some of the carers some artists went too far and caused tension and unrest. Conversely, others succeeded in perfectly dosing the stimuli and achieving fruitful co-operation, which in addition yielded interesting art.
