Proteus disease is a multidimensional visitor

I am imagining a re-imagining of the Elephant Man's 'John Merrick' as, in fact, a hyperdimensional object visiting the three-dimensional beings here upon earth in some Victorian England. And the tragedy of his treatment leads to some trippy scene back in this hyperplane from where these visitors came showing their 'soft-pot' breathing and beating erratically, substantiating the sadness and sobbing of a hyperdimensional being who has failed to make meaningful contact with these Victorian working class people.
