Some years before Tully fled Mayfield and SOCKS, a student by the name of Eric Wilder, who was a few years their senior, left town. He is known in Mayfield as the First Dissenter. Most don’t remember his real name, and his leaving wasn’t given much attention beyond a general disgust.

Tully is treated differently because a) they are suspected to have something to do with an attack on militia student housing (they didn’t, but they know who did and is protecting them), b) they brought their gun with them (theft ig), and c) went through some lengths to hide their identity (transitioned lmao). This, and the general tone within Mayfield has become more heightened and hostile since Eric’s departure.

The entire situation surrounding Tully’s desertion is like extremely traumatic, and despite only meeting Eric once before he left (and immediately taking a strong disliking to him) they sort of begin to cling onto his image/what it represents. They begin to receive more and more communication from the mother of pearl and has issues differentiating anxiety and delusion from omens and intuition.

By the time the story begins, they’re mostly over this jump and mentally healthier, but this sortof flies out the window upon boarding the Dolphin for a number of reasons, the most important being that members of their squad from home have employed a Chameleon (and. Someone else..) to try and lure them into a trap and take them home. Not knowing anything about them post-departure, they first attempt to get their attention by taking the form of Eric, the only other dissenter at the time of Tully’s departure. it works, but Tully catches on fairly quickly that whatever ‘Eric’ is up to is something they do not want to be involved in. His reappearance, however, as well as the fact that Tully meets his supposed partner (real) on the ferry, basically sets the tone for the rest of the voyage, and they revert back to a very obsessive-compulsive, paranoid state of mind which only really benefits them once.

Post-all of that, Tully ends up meeting Eric. He’s a much kinder, well-adjusted person after leaving Mayfield, and he’s the first thing that gets Tully interested in trying to influence the politics of his hometown
