like a dog with a bird at your door

She obviously missed the part with the gang or she would have tried to help him institutionally.

But after all that and Marc getting his hat back... How long do you think she watched him wander around trying to find the right guy to ask?

She had not properly seen him in months. She thought he was dead. Then she meets Steven, who she doesn't understand at this point and still isn't convinced it isn't just Marc with amnesia or something. Then she sees Mr. Knight, who is so different that she's starting to wonder if maybe she has the wrong guy after all, because she still has not seen any sign of Marc...

And then she sees Marc in his suit and she knows it's him without any doubt in her mind. And you can see by the way she looks up at him that she knows it's him without even seeing his face. And then he runs off on her AGAIN. Only this time she knows what he is going.

So she goes to Cairo and finds him and watches him.

Watches him move around. Watches him talk to people. Watches him BE Marc Spector. He isn't the timid scared man she saw back in London. There's no sign of that man right now. It's just Marc.

Do you think she stood back for a while, trying to decide how she felt on the whole situation? Wondering how she was going to confront him. Wondering if she was going to go in yelling or if she should just act like he never left? Wondering if he was going to see her and somehow fall through the cracks and vanish again.

Wondering if he would suddenly be someone else she didn't know. What he was hiding and why. Wondering if she even wanted to speak to him. If she could without being hurt or angry. Deciding that she needed to know why he left. Why he was someone else. Why he lied to her.

I mean, I’m a happy lad. Or I was. Til me best friend started acting the gilly-gooly.
