Ever heard of a 'split personality?' Maybe, he appears to have 'split open' -his expression began to open up. He quickly and unexpectedly went from a totally stone faced expression to one with a more warming smile right in front of your gaze. Maybe his eyes stayed stone like while his mouth changed positively. A quirky idea of 'possession' in a fun sort of way. Thanks.
