Hands is well-versed in providing huge swathes of silence with which other people are invited to fill. Usually it's so he can enjoy the benefit of most people deeply disliking what they perceive as empty air. So much information is shoehorned into the lack of conversation that, more often than not, people share more than they meant to.

Hands can see the moments where the young man is forcing himself to stay on track, despite the almost stream of consciousness feeling. It's purely a testament to Hands' own experience that his expression remains neutral throughout. There are no gasps or sharp breaths in at these hefty accusations.
