      Seconded, probably nothing I haven’t heard before, but a good gestalt, helps the pieces fit.

      As an aside, Holmes reminds me a lot of Overly Attached Girlfriend (the eyes) crossed with The Square Hole Girl (the ever increasing disappointment with reality not matching expectations). I’m inclined to go with (possibly drug induced and/or psychotic) delusions, at least at the end, although it may have started as a con. Unfortunately that seems fairly par for the course with CEO types in late stage capitalism.
