take Ilya's dick out of your mouth before you talk

shane: hey :) play better next time best buddy :)

Funny, of the two of us, you always were the gentle one Shy little rabbit, teething on a shotgun I guess we were collateral damage, kissing in the crossfire

but then when hockey becomes more serious and she takes a more managerial role, and as he gets better at masking, this rift starts existing. there's certain expectations he's expected to meet, required to meet. and to shane, if Mom Yuna sees Son Shane struggling, how will Manager Yuna be able to believe Hockey Shane that he can do it?

maybe david on his own was a temporary safe space as shane slowly transitioned out of that support system (both by himself and all the things that come with pursuing professional hockey) by distancing himself from first his mom and then his dad emotionally. there's still moments where he cannot help it (and he tries, he tries so hard) and he does everything in his power to make sure only his dad truly Sees in this period before he stops being Son Shane to them both. but eventually living away from them helps keep up the façade of Hockey Shane as Son Shane.

and then the cottage. he hasn't been truly Seen by them in years and years. and here he is baring his deepest and most personal secret that shows them his soul. and he didn't even get to choose to share it. he hasn't been pure Son Shane to them in more than a decade and he doesn't know what to do. his senses are going haywire. he hasn't had a truly personal chat with them in a Good While, let alone one of this magnitude. it's all so Overwhelming. there's no scripts to hold on to. nothing he's ever read or watched can help him here. and then his mom — Mom Yuna, someone he doesn't really know very well anymore— is asking him to Look at her. and usually he could get away with acknowledging her presence but she keeps asking and asking and it hurts so bad and he doesn't want to. there's no added value, she can see his face anyways. he doesn't want to see himself being Seen. and then she Sees him and for a short while they're Mom Yuna and Son Shane again, working through a moment of emotional overload. but then a switch flips and Manager Yuna is in front of him, and it's almost worse having her see him like this. like Son Shane, who he can't seem to reel in no matter how hard he tries.
