ornamental hermit

Also known as a "garden hermit"; a person hired by wealthy landowners in the 18th century to live in solitude in a specially built hermitage, folly, or grotto on their estate, acting as a living decoration. They were expected to embody the qualities of a druid and live a secluded life, often with specific rules like growing their hair and beard long and not washing. In return for their service, they received lodging, food, and a stipend. Landowners and their guests might occasionally consult their garden hermits for advice, stories, or entertainment.

Landowners placed advertisements in local newspapers seeking ornamental hermits to live on their property for long spans of time (7 years, in one instance).One legend goes that someone's ornamental hermit was found drinking at a local pub 3 weeks into their tenure, thus breaching their contract.

St. Hermione Hospital

Having been established since the early 1970s, St. Hermione Hospital is owned by the same parent company D5N (Delta Lima November) as Lima November University (which belongs to the same foundation as Lima November High School) since 1989. St. Hermione Hospital is known for its dedicated care, but it has a haunting history, as it was the place where a 17-year-old student from Lima November High School tragically passed away on Tuesday, April 2nd 1991 (coinciding with the fasting month of Ramadan) whilst still wearing school uniform, highlighting the hospital's connection to both life and loss. This duality reflects the poignant stories of those who have been treated there, marking it as a significant landmark in the community.

In my past life, I was a 17-year-old female student from Lima November High School who passed away on Tuesday, April 2nd 1991 during an inpatient care at St. Hermione Hospital — the very same hospital as my birthplace. On that day, I died whilst still wearing school uniform, having insisted on fasting during Ramadan despite suffering from typhus at the time. It was exactly in line with the verdict that my doctor had previously made, right after I had been impressed with the moment when I had met the immortal Lord British in the latest game (at the time) titled "Ultima VI: The False Prophet" (released in 1990, with the in-game year being the same as the game's release date). To me, it embodies a poignant blend of dedication and tragedy—a "perfect" day for someone who left this world far too soon without leaving any digital footprint as the Internet and social media platforms didn’t exist yet at the time. Not to mention that when I died in my past life, I was also too young to have ever been tried as an adult, as one typically has to be 18 to even be tried as an adult (instead of as a juvenile) in the first place.
