The young boy chose to ignore the comments from onlookers and focus on his own understanding of the horror in Sam's eyes, which he had personally witnessed. He glimpsed into Sam's soul through his eyes and came to a realization: if something didn't change for Sam, he had the potential to achieve something great. The boy wanted to prove that he wasn't just another reckless youth chasing girls when in a foul mood; he also possessed a deeper understanding of society.
With this newfound insight, he decided to take an unexpected turn in his approach. He humbly bowed before Sam and silently prayed that Sam wasn't inclined towards violence. The young boy couldn't shake the feeling that Sam's eyes had revealed a potentially dangerous side. He believed that if he were to engage in a confrontation with Sam, his life might be in serious jeopardy because a person's eyes often reflect their true intentions.
