Richie says terrifying things, and Eleanor just takes them. We're picturing her here as some sort of knight with a big shield, deflecting fire from a dragon.

Eleanor knows things will get much worse if she shows emotion in front of the bullies at school, but it still takes a lot of bravery to be as stoic as she is.

So here's Park, reacting to Josh calling Eleanor one of the nicknames the bullies use at school.
