He leans back into the chair, resting an elbow on the table.
"He recently found out he's the unwitting heir of a deeply problematic legacy. As far as he knows, he's come into great power, but with that also great responsibility, great consequences, and the very distinct possibility of great madness in his future. It's overwhelming, he can barely comprehend it, and that's on top of learning some unpleasant truths.
Of course, he then proceeds to lose his shit over his name, because finding out he unwittingly set himself up for the irony of being named 'Eclipse' over 280 days ago makes him feel foolish. He deeply dislikes the person who suggested it to him as well, so it's become more unpleasant with this discovery.
... It's just him trying to focus on something 'smaller' though, because the bigger question of 'what do I do with myself from now on?' is harder to answer."
He says it so bluntly that it sounds a little harsh, but he doesn't seem unsympathetic towards Eclipse either.
"... And there are far too many other things in the background that don't help. You may be better served looking at and touching some things in this room and in Perception, if you want to learn about the rest of those."
