 There is an inherent tragic in Randall's character: his love language is touch, yet, his #neurodivergence also means he is sensitive and easily overstimulated by touches. While he learns to regulate it over time and find ways to cope with unwanted touches, this isn't the case in the timeslot of this story. Even more tragic: he doesn't KNOW his love language is touch, so, as an outcome, we do see a character who is severely touch-starved without actually knowing it. 2/3
