I heard Tash say: Nomi, you're sad man. Get a grip. Walk away. What have I taught you? And I thought: You taught me that some people can leave and some can't and those who can will always be infinitely cooler than those you can't and I'm one of the ones who can't because you're one of the ones who did and there's this old guy in a wool suit sitting in an empty house who has no one but me now thank you very, very, very much.
I heard Tash tell Nomi to calm down and walk away, implying that Nomi was upset and needed to get a grip. Tash's words reflected a kind of tough love or frustration, suggesting that Nomi should learn to handle her emotions better.
"I thought: You taught me that some people can leave and some can't," Nomi reflected, realizing that those who leave seem to have more control and are cooler, while she feels unable to leave. She feels alone, like an old man in an empty house with no one but herself, underscoring her sense of isolation and emotional struggle.
