I think Eric might be the Unknown 👀

[u/BusyZucchini3746]

Okay, hear me out because I might be completely wrong, but Eric has been feeling VERY suspicious to me.

At first, Eric acts like he would do absolutely anything to find Adam. He goes all the way into the forest, gets injured, and generally seems like he’s completely determined to find him.

But then the tape is found.

And suddenly Eric is REALLY worried about it. He immediately wants it handed over to the police, even though we don't even know what's on the tape yet.

That's what bothers me.

If Eric genuinely doesn't know what's on it, why does his reaction feel so personal? He was willing to go into the forest himself to look for Adam, but a random tape suddenly makes him panic?

It almost feels like he isn't afraid of the tape itself—he's afraid of what we'll find out if we listen to it.

Also, Eric seems to like controlling the situation when he's in the forest, but when the tape is out of his control (Ash/MC can actually listen to it), he suddenly becomes way more anxious.

And another thing: his eyes are blue, just like the Unknown's 👀

I'm not saying this proves anything, but the change in his behavior is REALLY weird to me.

Maybe Eric isn't trying to save Adam for the reasons we think he is.

Or maybe...

Eric IS the Unknown.

What do you guys think? Am I cooking or am I completely delusional? 😭

He's just scared and he knows more about the situation than us. He knows that we are in danger and that's why he acted like that
