Ugh. You really know how to build up the tension. I think I nearly asphyxiated myself from all the built-up creepiness until the bubble burst. And what timing too, the exact moment Apollo punched Phoenix in the face. Impeccable timing, and quite brilliant all around.

I've pinpointed in the second half exactly what it is that I've always loved about your portrayal of Kristoph. It's that unnatural calmness he always exudes and how, on the surface, he's okay, but just slightly beneath the exterior, he's really, really not.

And you already know how I feel about your characterization of Phoenix. Spot-on, flippin'-brilliant as usual. I particularly loved the rise and fall in tone of this part. Nice!!
