  2. I'm not sure it's intentional, but I'm reading this as a kind of triangle: I, he, and she. A great foundation, very economically laid down, intentional or not. So, I think the language could match that economy. Maybe the dialogue could more acknowledge the tension of the triangle, even ironically?
