E-eeeh… h-hi, friends! It’s Eric! Hahaha… oh boy… okay, okay, breathe…
I just w-wanted to say a HUGE thank you to all of you who… uhh… who actually.. drew me???

THANK YOU! Really, from the bottom of my heart! You have no idea how much it means to me to see your drawings. I-I mean… you made me look so handsome! Me!?

I don’t know how you did it, but now every time I see your art, I look in the mirror and think, “Hey, Eric, maybe you’re not that much of a mess after all.” And… that’s a really nice feeling.

But it’s not just that—you also gave me courage. Yes, really!!
your art kinda… gave me a push?? A BIG push. Like, "Eric-stop-being-a-coward-and-just-do-it"-kinda push.

A-and, well, uh, I DID IT. I—I talked to Neo!! I told her how I feel!! A-and I didn’t die of embarrassment!! (Yet.)

S-so really, thank you for your art, your kindness, and for making me feel just a little bit braver. Sending you all a big hug (but a soft one—not too tight, b-because I get nervous!)

—A very flustered but grateful Eric.
