Features: Robert, a long-term staff counselor, has been plagued by obsessive thoughts. To prevent himself from eventually developing a mental illness and losing the ability to end his own life according to his will, which would bring pain to his family, he wrote a letter to his brother, asking him to "immediately use the swift and painless means that doctors always possess" if he noticed signs of his mental illness. Robert's initial obsessive thoughts gradually evolved into severe delusions, which in turn became various forms of paranoia. These paranoid thoughts gradually led Robert into an inescapable mental. He began to worry that he would be mistaken for mentally ill by his brother, and the letter he had written to him would become the legal justification for his brother killing him. This paranoia gradually developed into the delusion of being tracked. Driven by this delusion, he fled from his place of residence. After shooting and killing his brother, who had come to help him and wanted to take him home, he continued to run endlessly in the wilderness until he "was lost in darkness." Arthur Schnitzler, who once practiced medicine, uses precise literary language to document a typical case of a mentally deranged individual, allowing readers to enter the inner world of this marginalized group and thereby foster understanding and empathy for them.
