I'll be honest, I'm extremely happy with this development. Regardless of her perceived autistic traits, Jiang has been taking Shen totally for granted, not really thinking about the meening behind their relationship and the way their actions affect one another.
So for her to be actually panicking and not knowing what to do, I think it's a wonderful thing. Shen's great and it's great she's ackowledged by other people because of it
