By midnight, Elias had watched six episodes. He felt wrung out, like a sponge that had been squeezed dry. He was addicted, but not in a "cliffhanger" way. He was addicted to the weirdness of it. Moodx wasn't trying to sell him anything. It wasn't trying to make him like the characters. It was presenting a mood, stripping away the plot, and forcing him to exist in it.
