Oh, yes, Shen Wei is very much better at human-ing than certain biology professors - he's not a wanky fuck who has feuds over mitochondria, he is capable of basic human interaction, he cares about things beyond his research - but when we get out of his comfort zone of how to be a human in academia, if he can't do a quick swap into the Envoy mask, he cracks in, ah, interesting ways. Like "I'm used to being hurt." He's learned to fake it and he now makes it, but he is still a space alien from 10k years ago, and that shows. (If he hadn't been handicapped like that, either he'd be a bit better due to being able to relate more instinctually to people's backgrounds, or he'd be worse due to not having to study human interaction.)
