There's also our bias to consider. I saw his face before I read what they did, and his face looked perfectly genuine to me. Also crying can start before tears show, so there isn't definitive proof here obviously.
But yeah, what your gut tells you could also be perfectly true as well!
Yeah, I saw the face before I read anything, it was his face that told me he'd done something fkd up. I notice not many people can tell faked emotions. I don't think I'm special, in that I can, I just had a very close up, long lasting education on it, that took me nearly 20 years to click on to, so maybe I'm actually slow on the uptake. But now, I can't unsee it, now I can spot a faked emotion, in a nanosecond.
I'm usually pretty sensitive to that as well. "As an empath" or whatever. 😆 I just don't feel like there's enough to go on from this freeze frame. It looks super faked as a picture, I will agree(!), I just can't be sure what's going on if we had video, you know? That's all I got. 😁
