Original link: One of the series after watching the series [Philip K. Dick's Electronic Dream]
The first scene in the film is the scene where Honor reads Ross:
In a river with clear green water grass, a father and son were fishing for salmon, and the hostess stood in the water and watched them from a distance.
First of all, Honor had twice refused Ross's request for her to read him, and then only three times, the first time was full of curious temptation, the second time was instigated by others, and the third time was initiative request.
First Rejection, Scene - Archives
Honor said that the doctor seemed to have something on his mind, and he could find someone to read his mind. Naturally, Ross offered to let her read himself for the first time, but Honor refused.
Meanwhile, the second time she spoke about Ross being different, she mentioned a reason: she felt very quiet around him, unlike other times when she would get a lot of annoying noises and distracting nagging.
Here it can be seen that Honor gradually has a sense of dependence on Ross .
Second refusal + first time to read curiously and tentatively, scene - Ross's residence
From the conversation between the two, I feel that Ross has been trying to instill a thought in Honor, that is: the two are on one side, and Honor wants to draw a line from her resistance group friends, she can and needs to trust him.
So, of course, she can read him naturally. This is the second time Ross proposed. At that time, Honor refused and stated the real reason why he didn't want to read Ross: because of her mind-reading ability, even her own biological parents would hate it. She, so she didn't want Ross to leave her for that reason too.
But after the two lingered, Honor still tentatively read Ross with a curious attitude, and what he read was the picture of the father and son fishing for salmon.
But it's important to note: just as the little boy became clearer, Ross seemed to sense something, and then the jump of a fish made Honor unable to continue. But she didn't seem to think there was any problem, because she didn't want to disturb him.
After watching the ending, we can see that this is a defense mechanism of Ross.
The second time I was encouraged by the doctor to read, the scene - Alliance Library
Since Honor had been questioning what Ross meant by a weapon, the doctor asked Honor to try to read Ross. Only then did Honor realize that the peaceful father-son fishing scene was not Ross's true heart, and she couldn't read his thoughts at all!
The scene read here is actually the same as the first read, but since Honor was eager to know the truth at this time, he didn’t just try it out like last time. After actually reading it, he found out that he could only see clearly the child’s face. Face, want to go further but can only encounter that disturbing fish.
The third time I actively asked to read, the scene - the fire door of the alliance out of the warehouse
The two people inside and outside the door wanted to make a final call. Honor offered to let himself read Ross. Here we found that the father-son fishing scene was different: after passing through a deep water area, Honor found that the river was getting shallower and he Finally passed the father and son, which means that she entered his world of thought, but if you are careful, you can find that the river water after walking through it seems to be not as clear as before.
There are a lot of interesting content in this episode worth studying, such as

Who the hell is the mask maker and how exactly does Honor feel Ross is different? How did the two lines entangle at the end to create drama?
