And indeed, fans, too, are doing their own processing after witnessing Bobby’s heartbreaking death, which saw him and Athena say their final goodbyes through a glass window.

“I’m looking as a character, but I’m looking as Angela,” she explained of filming the scene. “I’m looking as a human being. It was a very rich moment, and all the emotion that needed to be there was there on both our parts take after take. However many takes, it is still fresh and real.”

The Oscar nominee added, “So as hard as it was, [there] was also something very cleansing about it, because we’re human and we connected as characters and we connected as colleagues. It was just a bigger-than-life moment and experience.”

Peter, meanwhile, understands fans who are mourning his character.
