[nothing hooks to henryβs line, yet, but wanda catches just fine to that very bitter feeling the surfaces from the man beside her. thereβs always that sense of β well, something obstinately, brutally angry about him, underneath the calm and composed exterior.
wanda stands up after he finishes dictating what his emotion was at the time.
in an attempt to add levity, wanda puts an elbow over his shoulder, forcing him to knock himself slightly towards her, losing this tenuous balance of straight shoulders and straight back that he seems so fond of keeping appearances for (wanda herself is on the same boat, but this isnβt about her, is it?).]
Youβre the life of the party, Henry.
[pot β kettle, truly.
like an annoying buoy at his side, unwilling to pull away from how sheβs tipping him to the side, her weight on his shoulder, she adds,]
Is there any kind of activity that you do enjoy?
[other than, well, collecting spiders. maybe she feels for him, understanding how limiting it is to grow into something more when a nurturing environment has been replaced for one that is sterile and dangerous in many subtle and explicit ways.]

Collecting spiders does not count.
