...And now she was just going to leave? That didn't seem right to him. Was something wrong?

Honestly, it had been a long time since he felt quite so lost in dealing with a stranger. If there hadn't been friends in the room with him, he might have panicked a little at the too-familiar, old sensation of not understanding someone, not even a little.

"Um. Wait, how come you're going? The movie just started a couple of minutes ago!"

More than anything, he was confused, and that was upsetting, and that made it feel strange to just let her walk off.
