Sitting up, Neo shook off the disorientation of stepping out of the virtual world in time to see Jackie's brief exchange with Tank. He rose from the chair, but it was too late. She was already leaving.
If he hadn't been there himself once before, he would have chased after her. Would have tried to help somehow, even if he didn't know how. Yet even he knew there was nothing he could do. She needed to adjust to it on her own, at her own pace. To her credit, she was handling it better than he had.
A moment's uncertainty, and then he headed over to a nearby console. He'd get some work done, and when she was ready to talk, he'd be waiting.
