For as long as the local residents can remember, H.R., a 56-year-old single high school graduate, has lived alone a couple of miles outside of town. Although frequently seen along the road, and occasionally in town, he doesn't frequent the local bars or cafes and has never been known to socialize. H.R. makes his living fixing things, at which he is quite adept, but chooses not to open a shop in town. He seems indifferent to praise, advice, or complaints from his customers, generally answering with a nondescript shrug and continuing his work. He never married, and did not attend either his sister's wedding or his parents' funerals, all of which occurred nearby. When passersby offer greetings or friendly conversation, H.R. remains aloof, barely acknowledging their comments. He has no complaints or psychiatric symptoms that bother him. He has never been in trouble with the law, and has had no known hallucinations, delusions, or psychiatric treatment.
