I invite you to compare these two.

That top one? That’s a teenage boy, having his heart broken by his first girlfriend.

That bottom one? That’s a child. A little kid, whose big brother just did something that he’d promised he’d never do. Maybe it was ruining something that the little brother worked so hard on, or breaking a promise.

That hand on the shoulder in the top one? That’s the girlfriend telling him that it was just never meant to be, that it could never have worked out.

That little pull closer in the bottom one? That’s the big brother, full of regret, trying to console the little brother, pulling him in for a hug and promising he’d never ever do it again.

If you didn’t know what words were being said in that bottom gif, you could almost believe that that’s what’s happening.

Look at the difference between Gabriel’s two expressions.
