The one blessing about this memory-showing problem is that it usually becomes pretty obvious that it's happening. Everything changes, it's hard to miss, and that means a measure of time to steel himself for any aftermath.
Sometimes that just means getting ready to apologize and walk away very quickly. Sometimes it's different.
A lot of the tension he'd been building up all but vanishes when Rey is the only one giving him a second look and mentioning it. He offers a brief half-smile, an awkward reflex. It's not as bad when it's Rey-- she's Rey. Finn has to figure that if he didn't lose her at I'm a Stormtrooper, there's not much worse she could know.
"In general, or just about being able to get the shields down? Because I thought he took it pretty well."
