Lead. Eric is a wannabe writer with a depressive streak. Running out of money, he can find the strength to do little more than lie on his couch. When Matt reaches out, Eric chooses at first to ignore him. But lonely, and losing his sense of self, he begins to wonder if he can really afford to push yet another person away, even if that person is Matt.
