Come at me, bro!

Troy’s latest thing is sticking his hand out palm facing up and opening and closing his fingers. The teachers think he’s trying to say hello or goodbye with a hand gesture, but I’m not so sure. It reminds me of that scene in The Matrix where Morpheus and Neo are fighting, and Morpheus gestures for Neo to come at him. Neo ends up exhausting himself and getting whooped because he still hasn’t embraced the reality of the matrix and that he doesn’t have to follow the rules he’s been told exist. This is what I think Troy is saying with his hands. “Come at me, bro! I’ve embraced the matrix. You will be defeated!”
