Will's "That might require me to be sociable" always makes me think about the corresponding passage in Red Dragon, where Jack is trying to get Will back into the field:

"The hospital, interviews, that's worse."

Will's empathy makes him experience the grief of the bereaved and the pain of survivors, and for him that's worse than picturing a crime scene from a killer's perspective. Corpses are preferable because they have no emotions to reflect.

Look at him struggling here. He can barely look in this dude's direction. He looks like he's about to barf or cry. It's his first brush with paternal grief--the same emotion he'll feel when Abigail goes missing at the end of the season.

Will improves at interviews over the course of the series! He starts with the horrific "How's the cat?" that makes Jack wince. He has a better handle on himself during his interview with Georgia's mom, offering a stilted "No one is doubting your dedication to your daughter, Mrs. Madchen." Finally, he truly shines as Peter's interviewer, deftly creating a natural rapport and fully leaning into his empathetic mirroring with the eloquent "You were grieving her. You couldn't save her, but you could bring poetry to her death."

In contrast, Will is pretty good at hospital visits from the start. When interviewing victims, he reaches out, holds their hands, comforts them, uses his empathy to say the exact thing they need to hear. "That's what you brought out in him." "You look pretty." "There's nothing wrong with you." It's difficult for him, but he powers through to help the wounded birds.

Idk, I just like thinking about this facet of his empathy. It's not showcased as well as the crime scene stuff, but I have this little head canon about it. :)

kinda a follow up from my earlier post but i think a very key bdubs trait is that he will believe in just about anything if he cares enough and when i say believe i mean commit so wholly that he will sacrifice his firstborn for it. so i do think it's funny to imagine him as a pinterest type girlie who is REALLY into astrology and knows everyones moon and rising signs and collects healing crystals and is generally insane. i think he would line up that one time he went missing in the jungle with his star chart and be like ohhh cuz venus was in retrograde i went crazy LOL that explains so much and nobody is willing to challenge him on it because its not worth the effort
