Challenge #04357-K339: Lost in Multiple Ways

Mr Sunshine and Jay were at the shopping center when a very elderly human was looking lost and confused. But when touched gently and asked if they were okay, they lashed out violently with terror in their eyes. Dementia is a terrible thing. -- Anon Guest

[AN: I would like to think that my future has eliminated most of the causes of Dementia, and identified patients prone to suffering so that the Mediks can be prepared. Therefore, this kind of thing would have to happen in the Edge Territories]

There was nothing like a post-assignment tea. A chance to relax, people-watch, and wait for their handlers to co-ordinate their return to sanctuary. This allowed them to spot the wandering, lost soul.

They were trying to read the shop signage, trying to read the directory, wandering away, then wandering back again within the same hour. They looked... scared. Worried.

Jay, knowing their own limits, attempted to find the local help organisations. Mr Sunshine, knowing a bit more about this particular zone, knew his apprentice would find none. People here had to ask for help before they had a chance to get some.
