[Everything about what had just happened is rattling around in Thomas' skull like a nest of angry hornets; all of this goes against all that he understands about the nature of his own life and his powers, against all that he has worked for, against all that is right. Others having powers is an alarming prospect, certainly, but even more alarming is the fact that the government has files on him.
No government has had files on his true identity for a good fifty years, at the very least.
Though he may be going through an existential crisis inwardly, Thomas certainly doesn't bother showing it. He regards the crowds with an easy smile, speaking jovially to men and women and children alike as he strolls down the street as if he's got nowhere else he'd rather be. Eventually he manages to duck away from the crowds to find a shady spot underneath one of the shops' awnings, his final concession to the oppressive heat beyond carefully folding his suit jacket and neatly carrying it in the crook of his arm.
If you, fellow import, happen to be doing the same thing, he may feel inclined to remark,] This is certainly the most polite kidnapping I have had the pleasure of experiencing.
