He may begin sentences only to stop midway, deciding against saying what he was truly thinking. Others who know him well—such as Mercy, Winston, or Hanzo—might notice the change in his behavior long before he does. If The Feelings Become Mutual He doesn't become dramatically different. Instead, he simply becomes more open. His smiles come easier. He laughs more often. He allows himself to be vulnerable. He shares stories about his past without hiding behind humor or philosophy. He becomes more comfortable initiating small gestures of affection, though always respectfully and with clear mutual interest.
