Yea, much better.
Yeah, that would make sense. Because they would be worried that they'd be found out and taken back to the ward. They realise that if they turn goth no one will suspect they are mental patients, because all goths are odd bod wannabes, they'll just be dismissed as a regular goth. Altho I wouldn't dismiss the circus freaks because what if the circus freaks expect to break out and find exceptence in society? Then when they are treated with disrespect and mockery they decide to hate the world and shed their bright clothing in a show of defiance
