[ Uncertainty is a very good word, actually. He's come to the realisation that his goals had been pushed to such an extreme that he knew he needed to find a different path, but he's still far from knowing where he should go from here.

He sees little point in hiding who he is from her. She sounds so sure that she knows, like there is no doubt in her. And to hear her say that it's good to see him— he's fairly sure that no one from his life would be happy to see him right now. It is a small comfort to know that someone is, even if he doesn't know her at all. ]

[ Which essentially is how he's feeling in this very moment. ]
