It's amazingly impressive how you created a character so complex in a single comic. He seems to be arrogant yet a secretly insecure man, who is a slave to his own doing, although he is afraid to ever change, or to blame himself in the first place...after all, isn't he the Infallible Eric?
"He goes to sleep in fear of the day that everything will come crashing down." My God, that line is powerful. That fear of inevitable burnout after agonizingly long days under that dreaded routine. I don't find it just relatable, Emrox, but it hits so close to home that it broke my window.
