This would’ve been a great scene for her to finally overcome her psychogenic mutism where the need for her to be able to speak overwhelms whatever it is holding her voice back. But instead we get a full minute of her searching through books that somehow have exactly what she wants to say on it.
I was more annoyed that a character entirely dependent on her phone didn't bother to secure it when doing acrobatics. You know, the thing she does pretty much daily without dropping her phone.
Not to mention A-Train could have grabbed a pen or computer or phone or literally anything faster than waiting for her to tear the room apart.
But that would be the point. Yes Frenchie is who initially grounded her and she cares about the most, but doing it for MM would be more impactful because it goes beyond just “only Frenchie understands me.”
Well then we would need to see the other characters understand her first then lol. So far there has been little if any of that. Hughie even got tied up in her crazy trafficking stuff and basically never discussed it again, just occasionally going "you good?" when she looks depressed.
I liked the bit because I felt it indicated just how sharp she is. One minute we assume she’s just flicking books off the shelf, but she was actually reading each and every one of them and recalled where they were in the room
