MILO SAYS
The plot thickens.

I've been trying to do most of the acting in this scene EXCLUSIVELY with the characters' hands. There are a few comic book artists who do this really well, (like Dave Gibbons in Watchmen, and ESPECIALLY Shaun Tan in his silent graphic novel, "The Arrival") and I really wanted to give it a shot here. I think it also helps to heighten the emotional disconnection going on between Roxxy and Kevin by taking the emphasis off their faces and eyes, which are kind of like gateways to the characters' souls.
