For example: how her breathing gets shallow at the mention of her traumatic experience, or how she’s unable to move, and starts rambling and can’t process words correctly or when she feels extremely nauseous and relies on someone to calm her down. Along with Andrew who is vulnerable, speaks softly as if he’s constantly being weighed down by a burden. This connects to loss and emotional conflict.
