[ No, there's no real mistaking that for anything but a grimace, and Cisco feels a brief pang of guilt for being so blunt. He might not know the particular causes for it, but he'd clearly put his foot in his mouth, and Ed's trying to be polite about it. That happens, sometimes. Cisco has a hard time occasionally knowing how much honesty is too much.
The idea that the portal brings in people who are feeling out of place, but also who have connections with others here, is an interesting one. Anecdotally, it seems true; what's the likelihood otherwise of Cisco and Eddie both ending up in this place? ]
Yeah.

There had been a while there, when his powers first appeared, when he'd really thought he was losing his mind, trying to tell what was real and what was a vision and what was a nightmare. And he understands how trust can be impossible, sometimes. But that doesn't stop him from wanting to help. ]
