[ Gamora is direct – with the courage of her convictions, when she's confident, when she knows the why of it all. The biggest struggle for her now is that emotions make things unclear. It was why Thanos beat them out of his children, taught them that feelings made them weak – and Gamora embodied that for so long. She shunned her emotions, she turned away from thinking with her heart to be as brutal, as effective as possible.
But now, that history is damning her. As she tries to understand what she feels and why she feels it... she's lost.
On the one hand, she isn't trying to shut those feelings out, but she also doesn't know what to do about them or— ]
... I don't know how to talk about this, Peter.
[ And admitting that is grudging, reluctant. Gamora hates admitting to weakness – which, somehow, this feels like one.
Because once again, here's Peter, willing to open himself up to new possibilities, and here's Gamora...
A jerk who doesn't trust anybody.
(But she does trust him. She hasn't said it in so many words, hasn't brought this up with him since they screamed at each other on Ego's planet, and she's just lost – but she still trusts him.) ]
