it's just a visual to show like. For once, the thing he's *thinking* about doing is what he's *actually* doing. The chapter titles are LITERALLY saying 'this is happening, this is real, this is not an imagination sequence'.
Also on a side note, I feel like 'I'm really good at reading faces' is actually a good like. Way to say telepathic without saying telepathic? It's believable, and it's close to the truth- especially since we know her telepathy isn't true. Maybe that'll work out for her going forward.
Anyhow, good comic, good kids, good run ❤️
