I think that to simulated this, and prevent players from becoming
self-alienated, a victim would gradually despare, and just find a place to
crawl and hide.

So I propose a Willpower test every hour after the second,
with the target being something like (Spirit Essence-4)+hours alienated.
If they fail the test. Victims spent the rest of the time, until they
succeed at a test, hiding from view and been really miserable.

Am I clear?
