This is such a minor question that I kind of feel weird posting it here, but it's come up, so what the heck.
Court already told me that, because he's brainwashed, "Daniel" can't see the ruins, and I'm assuming that this extends to other "weird stuff outside the institute" (like, if he and Lunge happen to meander into the forest at all, he won't see any of the destroyed-encampments-with-skeletons etc. along the river). I'm also assuming that the trees probably look normal to him, rather than withered (since the description alludes to the same decay as the Institute, which RL-evented patients are oblivious to -- I haven't mentioned the trees yet either way).
But! I really can't figure this one out: can brainwashed patients see the pervasive fog/mist that covers the landscape? This is peculiarly relevant.
(Also, please tell me if I have the wrong interpretation on any of the other stuff. orz)
