A part of him knew it is his fear acting up. He knows that if Ana should decide to like girls, he would not have a chance anymore. The five percent hope he was hanginy onto would fade away instantly.
Marcey wanted to tell him to not go to Ana if that was what he was planning but before she could even speak, the man had vanished into thin air. She takes a seat at the dining and asks the workers to give her some food. Ethan definitely isn't following the rules he laid for himself regarding his feelings for the young lady.
He was starting to let them interfere with her life.
A young girl of about sixteen working at the coffee shop saw Ethan appear out of nowhere. Ethan expected to have scared her and apologised but the girl simply continued to type back into her phone not giving him a second look. He walks into the building and looks around the stairs that could collapse anytime. After he was sure no one was in sight, he teleports to Ana front door.
