Hrrrgh I am losing my mind over this whole scene. They work together flawlessly, even in the middle of an ongoing disagreement.

Right? It's amazing. All the tension between them before, and zero chance to talk to each other, but they're completely in synch!

I don't think Shen Wei is actually trying to convince him, he just wants to Not Talk About It for now - but Zhao Yunlan doesn't know/understand that.

Yeah, that's how I see it too!

But more seriously, I like that all three of them are presented sympathetically. The leaders are all trying to do what's best for their people.

Ooh, yes, that's an excellent point! So much love.
