[It's not as if he ever got the chance to work directly with Bucciarati, but yeah, he knows of him well enough, at least, to say what he said. It's a matter of permanence moreso than contact, really - with Bucciarati having joined Passione when he was still a--
Wait, that can't be right. He must be getting something confused. He can't have joined that long ago if-- No, wait, but if Doppio was already--
You know what? Never mind all that. Now's not the time to think about it. He's almost definitely getting Bucciarati confused with some other guy who joined as a kid after Doppio was already consigliere, but this isn't supposed to be about him, anyway. It's about Trish.
In a way. You know. In the sense that he's about to give her a picture of her mother, and this truce necessarily revolves around her as one of the bargaining chips. It's about Trish in that sense.
Doppio waits. He has seen the Boss's eyes by now - he has been allowed to see them, is working on allowing himself to see them - and he's not sure if that plays a role in his inability to hold eye contact with Trish for very long. They're very similar, which doesn't help. They're not that similar, which doesn't help.
Then again, maybe he'd rather focus on her eyes and/or how hard they are to look at than imagine what is about to happen precisely as she unwraps the picture and sees...
