Two mistakes of the universe go for a walk. Despite this, the universe doesn’t chew them up and spit them out. It lets them be. They deserve it, after all.

It gets worse my guy

They are all from different timelines, so some are Brellies, some are Sparrows, and some are a mix of Sparrows and Brellies and even people this Five has never seen

Every Five is mostly the same age, with some exceptions, but the versions of his siblings vary in ages, the older taking care of the younger and some older teaching their younger selves to use their powers properly

There is even a Grace, built by one of the Fives to help the youngest adapt and thrive

I've noted before that Five, in this scene, is holding his finger on the trigger guard rather than the the trigger itself, as you're supposed to do

so I went back and found every time Five holds a gun in the series

annoyingly, the other time we see five holding a pistol, he's holding it in the wrong hand:

five is left handed, old five is using his right hand.

its a little harder to see bc of the angle but Five's finger isn't on the trigger, or even on the guard, it's on the grip.

He wasn't even considering shooting here.

technically he's holding the rifle consistently at least, left hand on the barrel, right on the trigger/grip:

and his trigger discipline is shittier as an old man (his finger is on the trigger long before JFK even arrives in the area) ... tho i guess that could be blamed on the psychosis?

I guess we could also blame insanity/illness on him having his finger on the trigger in this scene - or we could say that this is Five at his most inexperienced or most scared.

again, his left hand is on the barrel, and right on the grip. it's kinda hard to catch bc this scene is so quick but Five's either got his finger on the trigger or trigger guard.

what's more interesting about this scene is that five relaxes his stance (his finger is definitely on the guard in this scene, so either he's dropped his guard or his trigger discipline is still holding)

despite the Swede (Axel) entering the barn with hostile intent and killing the Handler in seconds flat, Five is actually more relaxed in the moments after the Handler's death (when an armed assassin enters the room) than the moments before (when he had the only adversary unarmed and at the end of his gun).

During his first meeting with the Handler and almost all the other scenes where he points it at someone else (The Swede, JFK, etc.), he‘s quite calm and his grip isn‘t shaky in the slightest. To be expected from a trained assassin, right?

However, when he meets the Handler again in season 1 while time is frozen to make the deal, you can see his grip on the gun shake ever so slightly. I don‘t know if I‘m reading too much into it, but I think it gives you a small insight into their relationship.
