@KinglyPancakes That’s assuming you want the character to be considered mad, though. 1 can also be interesting if you want a “how do you/I know this?” conflict, which is why I think the mix sounds pretty cool.
@KinglyPancakes Mixing things like that is usually the play.
Obviously context is everything but as a reader, questioning whether the madman is actually fully mad is always more interesting than just “this guy be crazy.”
