I’ve treated reactions as a way to mark “normal response”. Jack is flat hearing about Grady’s murder in No.5 and the Social Worker/Doctor is stunned still— it’s telling.
When Halloran shakes from fear and Danny drools and shakes from stress, they’re connected.
Wendy has no reaction to Jack’s abusive behavior or language in No.31 No.47, showing it’s normal in their life.
Danny’s silent scream in No.50 hearing Jack and Wendy fight and his loud one in No.78 hearing his father kill Halloran.
