Suddenly thinking of 1989âs The Little Mermaid and you know what, give Eric some props here because he had the weirdest fucking hour of his lifeâ
Wakes up from hypnosis where he was about to marry a woman heâs never seen before with his mystery girlâs voice, the instant he wakes up then the cute girl heâs actually fallen in love with now has that voice. Then she drops to the floor and has a fish tail, and then the first girl is suddenly cackling âtoo late!â and bursting out of her skin. So it turns out sheâs actually an octopus woman who drags herself over to the real mystery girl - whoâs a mermaid?! Theyâre real?! - and taking her back into the ocean. And Eric has no idea whatâs going on here but okay, one of these women is clearly evil and he needs to go after his mystery girl.
And all of this happens/he realizes what he has to do within like, a single minute.
Prior to this he was just living out a sweet romance after having a Meet Cute with a shipwrecked girl, but okay, guess heâs involved in whatever the fuck this is. Acting first, questioning later.
And this is all before the kaiju attacks.
