if there's a light at the end, it's just the sun in your eyes
His anger is the catalyst behind the sudden space between them. He doesn't notice at first, too frenzied to pluck any knowledge he may have about Carnage out of his head, too frenzied thinking that the Creator of Pangea had hurt her. But he does notice eventually, when her first 'no' cuts across him. His rage is quelled so quickly with this information, replaced with surprise and confusion. "Oh..." he expels softly, not in judgement or disappointment, but with the unforeseen realization that Tang had begun to live a life that did not involve him.
Of course she has, he sighs quietly, suddenly unsure of how to feel. He misses nearly six months of her life every year, a side effect of her wanderlust, but he has never dwelled upon it as much as he is now. He had been folly to think that all of her time away was spent with Warrick, and to think that she could not feel new things for new people. When finally he's able to settle on an emotion, Amet nods his acceptance, only regretful that he does not know her life like he thought he had. 'No,' she repeats again.
But the space is already there, and now he notices it.
"You just..." sounded sad? Surprised me? He wants to tell her that he isn't judging her, that she can feel whatever she wants, and to laugh at the miscommunication, but... she's cutting him off and telling him to get some rest with hard eyes and a sharpness as she says his name.
She turns away and he watches her go, feeling very much like he is bound to watch the women he cares about walk away from Hyaline for the rest of his existence.
