yuna noticing things that frustrate shane from the tags on his shirt to certain pairs of socks to whenever heâs given certain foods in a bowl. yuna saying, âI have an idea,â before the tears fall or something gets thrown and explaining cutting off the tags or suggesting they flip the socks inside out or grabbing the plate with sections. yuna saying, âI have an idea,â and working with shane to figure out whatâs not working, whatâs difficult, what can be done, creating a plan. that when shaneâs older and sometimes itâs frustration with himself or anxiety, itâs âI have an ideaâ and yuna and shane are on the ice at 1AM. itâs âI have an ideaâ and david comes home to a spreadsheet with pivot table ranking college choices based on distance, hockey team, and costs. itâs âI have an ideaâ and all the curtains are closed, all the lights are off, and yuna is forcing herself to sit as still as possible as shane is curled up in bed rocking himself because shane canât tell yunaâs whatâs wrong and doesnât want to be touched but itâs too much and he doesnât want to be alone.
that when ilya calls shane but canât find the right words in english of course shane says âI have an ideaâ and listens to ilya speak russian even though he canât understand because itâs not about him understanding, but ilya feeling betterâeven just a little bit. that when it seems residing somewhere else permanently, citizenship, is important to ilya and shane doesnât want him to marry svetlana and it sounds like ilya doesnât want to marry her either, of course shane thinks of a plan and says âI have an ideaâ so early in the morning itâs still night and maybe some of it is selfish, thereâs so much shane wants with ilyaâforever, if heâll let himâbut shane also just wants what ilya wants. and heâll do anything to make sure ilya knows he doesnât have to do it alone.
