The scene at the very beginning of Grace's involvement with the Project, before he even knows what Project Hail Mary IS, when Stratt's quietly guiding him into a meeting room to do a high-pressure task involving what he's learned about astrophage that he wasn't expecting to have to do? While she and three men are blocking his attempt to leave the room? And Grace is saying "I can't do this." and Stratt is gently trying to get him in there, "Come on. Yeah—" and Grace keeps repeating "I can't. I can't. I can't."? And Stratt doesn't let him go, the men don't allow him to escape, but she also doesn't stop reassuring him about his capability in a situation he desperately wants out of, because she doesn't doubt at all that if he gets in there and does the task he'll do it well? "You're doing great."
