[They're definitely getting some discreet concerned looks from the other people inside the laundromat, and Grey has to resist the want to snap and bite at them while Manabu heads out.
It's frustrating. Did he let Manabu push himself too far? Just this small trip is already visibly wearing Manabu out, and Grey has trouble reminding himself that this is still progress. They'll definitely have to put buying shoes off until tomorrow, at the very least...
Grey lets Manabu wander a bit while he leans against the wall of the laundromat and watches him. Being outside the laundromat does make Grey feel a bit better- there's no blaring TV and there's a bit of a breeze. But it's hard for him to tell how Manabu is feeling.
So after giving Manabu a few minutes to breathe Grey approaches and asks directly.]

How are you feeling? Truthfully.
