I love your analysis and how you explored those detailes that were improtant for the development in their relationship.Keep…
I totally get you, I used to do the same whenever I re-watched their scenes, now unfortunately I am a bit busy and that is why I have not spammed MDL with my long asss parapgraphas lately lol
Vegas having a nightmare about his mother's death and Pete hugging him all night kissing his cheek and comforting him telling him he is righ therr with him
With Pete it always felt to me like he never acknowledged his emotions and feelings. Like in general it seemed…
Exactly. Pete was holding his emotions back to the point that he did not allow himself to feel things a human being feels, he had let the role of the happy bodyguard consume him and take the place of his true self, until Vegas opened the box within him that hid all his emotions and made him confront his true self. After getting a taste of how it feels to be acknowledged for your true self he was not able to go back to being just a mere bodyguard, even if Vegas brought him pain he accepted because he still felt like a human, it was proof that he was not numb like a puppet.
