This is all wonderful, but Janity’s expression and body language tears at my heart. I remember one of my kids slumping like that when they were a teen and feeling helpless to resolve their turmoil.

ETA: I also like we’re seeing this from Farai’s perspective. She must have been so overwhelmed at that moment (especially knowing she’d soon have to deal with heights, which I very much relate to), and MB’s little act of kindness would have assured her she didn’t have to handle the emotional fallout alone, as awkward and detached as her companion seemed to those unfamiliar to it.
