Eric deserved the scolding he got, even though it came from someone younger than him. Just look at the son he raised and the mess he’s made
Eric still clung to the hope that Dylan might find a place working under Alexander, but that hope had been shattered. Dylan’s actions had led to his expulsion from the Quirk family’s power center.
