something about ilya admitting to shane that he looked up the word compatible really gets to me. shane is the one person he never had to hide his language barrier from because shane never treated him differently for it. covering for him at the press conference and never batting an eye at any struggles he had.
the fact that ilya could tell shane that he looked up that word specifically, especially in reference to rose landry, to them, to all of it, and not be afraid to admit that he needed that clarification and reassurance regarding such a vulnerable topic
