Once in a while (as in the picture immediately above) I accidentally catch on virtual film an expression moving briefly across these soft and pliable little features, an expression I did not notice in real life, and I won't (as in the picture above) be able to read what it means at all. This is a subject of great and unsatisfiable curiosity.
