"Oh." Her look to him is very sympathetic now, no doubt understanding the feeling of loss and confusion as one struggled to understand themselves while feeling so alone despite being in either a crowd or a shop. "It takes time. Don't worry about it. There are others out there who will be more than willing to help you if you ask."

A lightbulb flickers over her head after she says that. "In fact: I can try and help you. I've been around for ten years or so. I know some things and maybe I can answer some of your questions."

Not all of them and it isn't a guarantee that she'll know the questions he may have, give light to some ideas he's been holding for over a year. The most she can do is offer a helping hand and hope it can be of some use to someone who needs it.
