#touch language

The way Amos shows affection by grabbing & smacking is so tender because it translates to Holden.

in Season 2, Episode 4 : Not Our Daughters,

PART 2 (Part 1 here, Part 3 here)

This unnecessary closeness:

in which the first instance of them unnecessarily standing too close to each other is found, Raelle gazes at Bells when Bells speaks, and more Bellcollar mirroring. Also to note: Bells doesn't leave the scene without Raelle.

Bells just casually confiding in Raelle:

in which there's more Bellcollar mirroring and Raelle says the word “shit.” Side note: there's something interesting about having that couple in the background, right in between Bellcollar. The boy in the couple, placed on Raelle's side of the parallel, just so happens to mimic Raelle's touch language of touching people's faces to show affection. When Bells leaves, the boy reaches over for a hug, and it also so happens that Raelle looks like she wants to reach out for Bells.

The return of Bellcollar standing too close to each other for no reason:

in which there are more subtle mirroring, and you can clearly see they are the only ones who stand that close. In fact, that shot where Bellcollar is on stage behind M, Raelle unconsciously moves to place her hands behind her back (matching Bells), but they're standing so close to each other, it looks like Raelle reached out to nudge Bells.
