i have a theory as to why john blanc acts the way he does.
as a narcissist, he expects people to like him, or at least be too afraid of him to wrong him.
when someone doesn't bow down to him, he isn't angry, only fascinated, and like a child seeing a rare toy, he must have it.
this fascination leads to him wanting to mentally pick apart and eventually break his victims, like a child destroying a toy to see what is inside.
what do you guys think?
