Just adding my bits to it! It is really not much but still a significant point which I wanted to make. If you see his character has always been about survival, by hook or by crook. There has always been a strange resilience about him, he doesn’t give up so easily. Perhaps, that is the reason survival comes as a priority to him. You would always see him aiming for survival. For example passing on the juice might be a gesture of care but for the man who knows survival, It’s important to feed to gain energy. When he pulls the chair, its survival again! Not because he is a gentleman, but he knows that he has to take care of the basic survival tools. She has to rest, she has to eat, she has to smile, she has to heal. I am perhaps attributing this to his Traumatic childhood. Perhaps he learnt survival the hard way and he knows that no matter what, survival is important. Once, winning was important to him which was his survival. The streak remains the same. Instead, we see how much calmer is his demeanour now. He isn’t snarky anymore, She has changed him. He has changed her.
Like I have mentioned already in the episode discussion thread, their relationship is symbiosis. They make each other better and partially take away the bitterness that life has offered them.
Another aspect, has always fought. Earlier it was to control her emotions, he still fights every day, for her honour as well as her survival.
