"Are you thinking what I'm thinking?" asks Neo.
"I'm thinking this elevator is too damn slow," replies Trinity.
But before long they are interrupted by the elevator doors opening and are recieved by a crowd of people. They carry offerings, asking Neo to look over their sick children etc. Neo thanks them for their gifts and and says he'll try.
Trinity lowers her head in dissappointment and starts to walk away.
Neo asks her not to go, but Trinity answers, "It's okey. They need you."
"I need you," he pleads.
"I know, there's time," she assures him and walks away.
Was it right for Trinity to get dissappointed?
Was she correct in being understanding that, at that moment, others needed Neo more than her and she should move on to do stuff she wants?
Should she have stayed and remained a spectator... watching him work coz he would feel a lot better with her around?
Is it considered to be expecting "too much" when one seeks undivided attention?
When someone seems to need your presence, but you have nothing to do except be physically present there ... is it wrong...... to walk away???

there are two ways of looking at it, Trinity could have thought he would be too distracted with me being around so i guess i should leave or she could have actually stayed quiet just by his side... either ways she was only trying to 'be there' for him. It's all a matter of choice isn't it, and yes i would have chosen to stay if i was Trinity simply 'cos he asked:)
Hmmm.. Yes, its all a matter of "choice".. I used to choose to stay.. and "be there".. but having done that for so many ppl, so many times.. and being taken for granted seems to make me feel the want to walk away... um, if i was Trinity, i would never wanna leave Neo.. But i also seem to never be without Neo, he is within.. always.. and so i "think" i should walk away and do stuff i wanna do... hoping after Neo obliges to the choices he has made.. i would get his undivided attention....
