Agony And Regret
After all was said and done, Eric spoke himself and said, “I am a broken man. A man splintered…by a penetrating awareness… of my own potential for wickedness. While I cannot fathom… the full extent of the anguish I have caused… I recognize that my sinful deeds have inflicted terrific agony on a number of people. The words evade me to articulate the depths of my sorrow.” He then went on to say, “I was afraid my relationship with Lily – the singular ray of light in my black world – was in peril of collapsing.” And due to his own appalling actions, he made his world collapse all by himself.
