thank you! in the play edgar is framed by his brother and runs away from home so he won't be arrested, so he disguises himself as a madman right before a storm in which king lear actually goes mad (but of course because this is shakespeare they're both able to see and say truths that "sane" people aren't allowed to). half of this fic is just remixing lines from the scene where edgar decides to make this transformation and covers his face with mud, and if anything i didn't make it intense enough.
