These little facts about Wade will always be short chapters (compared to what I usually write), focusing on one trait at a time, but also sometimes giving indications about a future topic. ;)

SOMETHING ABOUT WADE
Chapter 3 - Emotions

Wade has problems understanding people's emotions. He can recognize the basic emotions like happiness, anger, sadness; mostly because these can be an indication on how the person in front of him is about to behave. So for Wade, reading emotions has a survival purpose. But he doesn't see the difference between face-expressions which looks similar. For example, Heath's amused smile and his you-just-hurt-my-feelings-naw-mean smile. For Wade, as long as Heath smiles, it means he's happy and so, whatever action himself just did, is good and can be done again.
Because even if he denies it, Wade cares for his team. He wants them to be effective, but also happy.
Oh, and he hates Heath's 'naw mean', cause he doesn't really "know what Heath means" most of the time.
