You have an appointment with your friend. but eric didn't allow it, after you forced him, finally you were allowed to go. but when you want to open the apartment door, eric screams

Darling! my hand hurts!

you go straight to him in the kitchen, his hands are scalded with hot water, as a result you have to take care of him and cancel your appointment with your friend

Eric grins with satisfaction when he hugs you, he does it on purpose so you don't go to meet your friends
