I'm sorry. It was all planned out, except what happened between us. I don't know... I broke my own rules. What? I didn't consider that variable. What the hell are you saying? What variable? Falling in love with you.

These two!!! I love that every second is filled with details, both subtle and glaringly obvious! And the synchrony between them in every gesture! She appears, looking worried, Nirobi manages to say "Excuse me!?". He gives the group on the table a warning glare and a face that says, "Just dare say something!" No one else reacts, even though they are not happy.

Hand holding—establishing her place. It seems the gesture comes simultaneously from both sides. He reaches toward her, and she reaches toward him. He takes her hand, and she grabs him and, at the same time. It seems like he is the one placing her hand on his shoulder, a gesture aimed both at the group and at her. It's as if he is saying that her place is next to him now. He is informing them by this gesture only.

The hand game is wild - they both squeeze to reassure each other, sort of giving each other confidence and caressing each other hands - an intimate calming gesture, that repeats during the heist. Seems almost like they are transferring strength to each other.

Tokyo says: "She is one of us now." She nods.

Her face changes from worry to challenge when she turns to the band. As if she says: "I'm informing you that I'm here to stay."

A hand on the shoulder - it seems like it begins as showing connection and power to the others. But the gesture quickly changes into squeezing his shoulder. Reassurance - you are not alone, everything is going to be fine, I believe in you. A similar conversation happens at the end, but because they are tied up, it all happens through facial expressions. It looks like her "love language" is a touch. And when she can't do that, she uses every other tool in the box. It already happened in the previous season. It happens again here. In order to communicate and convince he uses words explicitly - knowledge, hard facts, logic. She uses everything.

She takes her place. It's not in the gang. At least not yet. She has a different status. Almost like a queen on a throne. Or a politician, standing behind the ruler. The hidden power - the one who influences and gives advice. The one who has the power to turn the direction of the events.

She keeps her status and the places behind him through the heist. Until they clash and her status is changed.
