The character expresses a feeling of unease as someone gazes at her, questioning whether her actions could be interpreted as wrong. She rationalizes her behavior, suggesting that a short duration of observing someone doesn't constitute stalking, even though she acknowledges that stalking itself is illegal. This inner dialogue reveals her defensiveness and attempts to dismiss the gravity of her situation.
Moreover, she contemplates her own motivations, wondering if her presence could just be perceived as innocent enjoyment rather than something more suspicious. This reflects her internal conflict and the complexity of her thoughts, as she tries to navigate her feelings of apprehension while justifying her actions.
