I know people have a tough time with opinions based on body language but the fact is a HUGE amount of communication is through body language.
These are human beings after all. You can generally tell when someone is happy, looks frustrated or angry or yes looks scared and intimidated. Reading people is a basic skill just about everybody learns at a pretty young age.
Ward looked like a deer in headlights (like, literally physically looked shocked and uncertain). If opinions based on this are like reading tarot cards that’s simply your opinion- but the reality is those opinions at the time were valid because they were correct.
