Peripheral Vision

Despite their little Mother/freakishly-mature-looking-Son tiff, Mandy’s face glowed as only a mother’s face could. She seemed to revel in her role as the mother of a not-so-young-looking 'child'.

When she wasn’t looking, I noticed Samuel flipping her the bird. I think he thought I didn’t catch his retort, but I have unusually good peripheral vision, unlike Mandy who seemed to have poor vision, as evidenced by the coke-bottle-lens eyeglasses she often wore, either on top of her head or on her face. I thought at the time one would have to have poor vision not to see the obvious charade that was Hideki/Samuel. I had to know more.
