Just when you think it is a simple argument, the sudden cut to the bloody man changes everything. The man in the suit looking down at his dying friend with such guilt explains his cold demeanor perfectly. This narrative twist in Almost Together, Always Apart proves that his silence is actually a shield against past trauma. Brilliant storytelling.
