Zelda,

Sorry to be brief, but an institution? What's it called? What's it meant to do? And who's idea was this exactly?

Not to be alarmist, but I've never heard of someone leaving an institution. Ari may have been acting off lately but he's not mad. This is mad. Someone's already realized that, surely — by the time you get this letter maybe it won't matter because someone will have stopped all this.
