I completely agree with the statement as it is obvious the text shows the character is worried from the start. An example is, “from the moment the bus moved on.” The use of the discourse marker “from the moment” highlights the importance of the event because as soon as the bus leaves he knows he is alone which is worrying. This is effective because the writer makes the character seem vulnerable as the bus and its passengers are no longer there to witness or support him which could be distressing.
