wash has a lot going on in his head at all times and would be EXTREMELY unhappy about any of it being read without his consent; BUT i love it as a point of cr development if you're up for that! he would be more accepting albeit still grumpy if it was a thing charles himself couldn't control, and he's unlikely to be able to tell its happening unless charles actively did something in his head.
he most notably has a literal photographic memory that he can't turn off; he passively absorbs and processes a massive amount of information at all times, and very frequently wrestles with traumatic flashbacks and/or hallucinations, the memories "leaking in". he's just learned to aggressively ignore them, such that most people can't tell anything is happening to him. it is an exercise of constant self-control fueled by nothing but a lifetime of sheer willpower.
