Ok so I was just maybe screen recording some of episode 9 for… reasons and I got to the part where Picard asks after her and Seven goes “I am myself” and Raffi does this little head shake thing.

And just it’s so subtle and so perfect. Seven is hiding her feelings because she doesn’t want to be vulnerable to people, but she’s already talked to Raffi a bit – already! And they’ll probably talk more later.

Like I’m not explaining this well but with Raffi in Seven’s confidence, they are a team, and the others are on the outside a bit. Idk I just like the intimacy of the trust and the emotional sharing.
