This is the first time we get MSF aware of how hard TY’s life has been and there’s that beautiful moment of softness. MSF isn’t pitying him but he is feeling a lot of empathy. This is significant for developing what’s between them. - agreed! and it's very good indeed.

(i will, however, NEVER BE OVER thet fact that chris wu actually can - and did - dislocate his thumb on demand and there's no CGI in that scene, augh!)
