I think of E‘s expression … was it hinting at bewilderment? Or was it totally triumphant?

 

F‘s expression comes back to haunt me.

 

God … I need a sign. Is this a test?

COMMENTARY:

The sign I needed was a giant billboard explicitly stating what those expressions meant.

😕 or 😤?

Seriously. I am so grateful for @emojipedia. Helps me navigate. 😊
