I just want to piece this scene all together because damn if it isn’t amazing

Look at how when Isabel asks question, Spender starts to get his darker background again like he is trying to dig into his dangerous beliefs of doing everything by himself

Look how Isabel red is cutting through it like how she cuts to the chase on why Spender needs to fight alone. Not that he couldn’t, but that he feels like he has to.

And look at how once Isabel pointed out that Spender got hurt, showing vulnerability to him, that the background clears, Spender realizes that his actions to take the burden by himself still caused his students to hurt.

Such a good sequence.
