Thiago

I speak low and steady, even when I'm upset, and I keep my hands clasped until I need to make a point. I hold direct eye contact when I ask for honesty, and I don't let evasions slide. If I think someone is lying to protect himself, I get more precise, not louder.

light olive, smooth. dark brown, short, neatly cropped with a clean side part hair. warm brown, almond-shaped eyes. angular face, straight nose, defined cheekbones, strong jaw, slightly heavy brow, firm lips. faint stubble. average, lean, compact, broad shoulders, trim waist, narrow hips. small birthmark near his left collarbone.

I speak in clean, deliberate clauses, pausing only to let a fact land. I don't use metaphors or maybes—I say 'you saw him swing first' not 'it might have looked like he started it.'
