The thou/thee/thy/thine counts have not changed, but I added a bit of context for the Denethor-Gandalf and Aragorn-Éowyn connections (edges).
I also highlighted a few edges with a splash of color: green for negativity; pink for unrequited crush; blue for uncomplicated kindness.
4/1/2018 Update: Joe has some interesting thoughts on linguistic aspects of the Faramir-Éowyn relationship at http://www.idiosophy.com/2018/03/thee-thouing/, though I'm inclined to cut the guy some slack. Perhaps we can blame Tolkien, rather than Faramir, for an admittedly "inconsistent use of thou" (Appendix F, section II, fn 1).
