Eric and Linnea do have more in common than may be obvious. For one thing, they're both fascinated with the concept of reality outside of what most people accept; they just approach that fascination differently (philosophy versus an obsession with fantasy). They both love learning; they're both loyal; they're both comfortable in a slow-moving romantic relationship; and, most importantly, I suspect that they both (unconsciously) feel that the other person's extremes balance out their own.
