. . . you like to answer those charges? And you are sloshing with self-loathing, and you wish you could twist yourself like a kitchen towel. Wring yourself out. What were you? Were you wrong?

a study of Kate and her mannerisms

expressive mouth & crossed arms

kate is incredibly expressive with her lips. there are multiple instances where she uses her facial expressions to talk to those around her in place of verbally. when javi visits her in new york, she’s unsure/nervous to see him again. most likely due to her placing memories of him away locked where javi has come with the key forcing her to remember. she bites at her lip with her arms crossed, showing her uncomfortableness not with him but her inner thoughts. when she first sees him a relief washes over her. but by now, her brain is racing about what he’d come for and if he might mention “the accident”.

hands / fingers

many times kate unintentionally will hide her fingernails from those around her. she picks at them and pushes them when anxious. it’s a subtle, almost unconscious gesture that gives her away. her fingers move in small, repetitive circles, and the movement becomes more pronounced when she's in a high-stress situation. this habit of twiddling her thumbs is one of the few ways her anxiety physically manifests. when things get overwhelming, she will clasp her hands tightly together, interlocking her fingers as if physically trying to hold herself steady.

touch

i think one of the most assuring things kate does for herself is using her sense of touch. she constantly has this internal battle if she can trust herself to see what she is truly seeing. we see that at in new york where she dreams that jeb is lying next to her. she needed reassurance that tyler was still there from the parallel moment of jeb getting pulled away from her. i think that’s something her and tyler share which we see at the end. tyler has his arm wrapped around her and his other hand under her thigh. kate doesn’t need reassurance, he is already reassuring her that she’s alive and “tamed” the tornado.

altruism

one of the main drives of kate is that she is willing to put herself at risk. she wants to warn people about the tornadoes and tame them to save more lives. no matter the cost as seen at the end. she was willing to lose her life for the possibility of the mixture working. in a regular basis, she will withdraw herself from others to not make them deal with her internal battles. this creates emotional distance between her and the people she cares about…even her mom.

“ the putrid smell of smoke filled the air, mingling with the metallic tang of blood. her own breath came in short, ragged gasps, her mind a whirlwind of fear and disbelief. how had it come to this ? ”
