SeaFlower please help with the Mathsy terms

I’ve been lurking on this thread for about an hour but screw it.

I’m in for one puzzle and can’t say no to any dares within limits until it’s solved

Anyway, 1 is NOT masquerade

It’s referencing Hannibal Lecter (that’s his mask) and his relationship to Clarice Starling.

[PacifierGirl2]

Ah, that's right. Damn, Masquerade felt too good to be true lol. What word are we looking at then?

A pretty massive clue we should maybe be looking at is movies with a character in their title. We know it's a movie that a majority of people will know, we may be able to force out an answer - especially if it's based on the first letters of each word, which it may not be.

[scguycola]

It’s 10 letters so...

Psychopath?

[scguycola]

I feel like the three clues for the inspiration are essentially saying it’s a deep sea crustacean

[PacifierGirl2]

I think the Genus is the especially important part though as it says that it's specifically the genus of a deep sea crustacean. But even then sciencegal just says that that means we'll be in the right area

1: something Hannibal Lector related. Psychopath?

2: point? space?

3: blank? black? empty?

4: hard? blue? acid?

5: unilateralis?

6: ???

A: deep sea

B: amphipod

C: genus

I keep thinking 6 is electric eel but the lettering wouldn’t match up unless it’s electronic eel

Really multitasking atm lol

'Height' is 6 letters, maybe 'depth'.

'Point' first and 'Space' second choice though

I think this one will be clear while put in context with others

That one is really hurting my head. I feel like the "part of each" implies that it doesn't include the entirety of each word, so I don't think the word is actually eel - otherwise it would just show the phone and the eel, right? idk

[scguycola]

Yeah, I think it’s safe to say that it’s “point”

If it was space, it wouldn’t be pointing to a specific coordinate

[SeaFlower]

cellular-... might also be a clue for 6

but Him to her... ?! psycopath to her? doesn't really fit

[nina@]

for 6th one could the first word be smartphone as the eel is of phylum chordata (CHORD...DATA)

[scguycola]

She sees him as a psychopath

May imply what is he to her?
