Note to Erika's Appearance:
I kinda liked this one. Plot is OK and ending is quite unexpected. It's really entertaining to see Erika playing an insane woman while she thinks she's not, but also thinks that everybody else thinks she is insane thou she's not. You are expected to think she is, but you don't think so, because you think when everybody thinks that you will think she's insane she can't be. But than you think that this pattern is so easy to follow, so you better think she is, when everybody thinks she is yet she thinks she's not. So am I insane when all of you think I'm insane while I think I'm not? Think about it...
