Anxiety
When Adam confronted the man, he didn’t know what to expect. As he reached down into his jeans, the man seemed to be unappreciative of him calling him out. He went from being confrontational to being weak almost immediately.
While he had no idea what the man was showing him, he could tell from the look on his face that the experience was anything but pleasant.
It was so painful to see what Adam was hiding that he wished not to have confronted him at all.
