Demerits for use of an ethnic slur, but otherwise pretty solid--I now have no idea who's telling the truth or what the endgame might be.

Man, Eric sucks. I think we all were ready to root for him, but he's a thoroughly objectionable spoiled brat and a narcissist to the nth degree, someone whose sole act of empathy (I think) was to murder the old lady whose life would, of course, be worthless without him. No cheers for you, Eric! But what a fine characterization, a needy little prick who shrugs off every suggestion of likeability. Like an evil version of the Crimson Bolt, like Drax without the jokes, just awful. He's great.

I was genuinely moved by the scene where the old woman explained her life without sight. The animation on Eric's face when he understood was very good, so subtle, just really nice work.
