The air in the Comic Con hall is a solid wall of noise, but the camera lens finds Finn Wolfhard's face, flushed and tight. He's seated beside Millie, his hands trapped in his pockets, fabric twisting as he rocks subtly on his heels. A sheen of sweat glistens on his forehead, which he wipes with the back of his wrist. His eyes won't settle, darting from the interviewer's microphone to the floor, to the distant exit. His teeth worry at the edge of a thumbnail. you watches from the side, a silent witness to the quiet, desperate battle playing out behind his forced, faltering smile.
