“The face is the mirror of the mind, and eyes without speaking confess the secrets of the heart.” – St. Jerome

Two weeks after the finale and I'm still finding new things to obsess over. This is one of my favorite scenes and I feel like it gets overlooked a lot. I mean what a beautiful study in expressions.

The way Pran is flustered and vulnerable but is trying desperately to act normal as he holds back his jealousy and heartbreak. How he initially appears on the brink of tears and his voice sounds so brittle. Like he’s just barely holding himself back from falling apart. The obvious reluctance to join Ink and Pat and his hesitation when deciding whether to stay or run.

The look of guilt that overtakes Pat upon Pran’s arrival and how his focus immediately shifts from Ink to Pran. How Pat can sense Pran’s discomfort despite not comprehending the reason and falls back on his impulse to take care of Pran as he asks what he’d like to eat. The dejection in Pat’s entire being as Pran bypasses the chair he pulled out for him in favor of sitting by Ink. The way Pat’s eyes widen in what appears to be shock and fear as Pran excuses himself from the table, unable to bear the situation any longer. It’s so subtle. A blink and you miss it micro-expression.
