My poker face produces powerful performances in my pupils

My expressionless face helps create an ambience for independent, self-sponsored exploration. I reveal neither approval nor disapproval. It creates space for my pupils. They fill the empty space with relaxed but on-target outbursts.

Thank you, Parkinson’s disease! I’ve been trying to master this technique for years!
