Care and feeling seen by him and feeling protected in a way that he had not done when she was a child.

There's sometimes when it's the character and then sometimes it's just you.

And yeah, that's certainly what I needed as a child.

And so there was a moment I just start crying.

I cry and he's holding me and it just like...

It just wasn't acting anymore.
