Garry knows that he looks like a mess. Honestly, what he looks like should be the least of his concerns, but for some reason... it's sticking in his mind right now and he can't quite let it go. Maybe he desperately needs something to focus on that isn't his mental state - but in the end, doesn't it all come back to that, anyway?
He hasn't been sleeping, of course. The few friends he has have finally started showing some concern over him, saying he's acting strangely and asking if he's okay - which is appreciated, but it's not like they could ever actually help. The only one who understands is Ib, and she's... hard to see, right now. He understands that, and he wants her to live her own life too, but he worries, you know?
Well, maybe it's just as much a selfish desire on his end, too... to remind himself that he's not going crazy. And that something good came out of that hellish nightmare, too.
He tries to shake the thoughts aside. He can't go spending every moment of his life dwelling on his traumas, surely? But... maybe he'll see if he can buy Ib a present or something. It'd be nice to see if he can make her smile.
As he starts to browse through the store, though, Garry notices that someone's watching him. Trying to ignore the way his stomach lurches, and the uneasy paranoia in his gut, he finds himself regretting once more how awful he must look right now - goodness, he hopes he hasn't attracted the concern of a stranger now, too...
"Oh, I'm awfully sorry. ...Did you need something from me?"
