Yeah, that's likely to get really unsustainable if you keep increasing at that rate.
There's so much that's great in 'Flame Red'. It's the first episode in which it really becomes clear that Jane isn't just 'playful exterior, tormented beneath'; he's 'playful exterior, tormented beneath, genuinely horrifying below that'.
That is the best thing about him! He was hurt and tormented and it made him absolutely terrifying!
I'm so intrigued by weird almost-intimacy, and Patrick Jane is a great character for it, because he's very tactile and inclined to be overfamiliar and cares very intensely about the people he's close to, but he also has enormous 'if I fall in love with someone I'm betraying my wife and also they might get murdered' barriers to making actual romantic gestures.
That is very true! He is very touchy-feely, likely to come off as romantic, and highly likely to go massively to pieces emotionally if things get anywhere romantically with someone else at any point during most of the show's canon.
