Al-Haitham was autistic. Any individual with half a mind and knowledge of it would know. It's not as if he felt the urge to mask; he was him, what's the point in being someone else?

Perhaps his autism was the reason for his current predicament; he had meant to go shopping with you, yet he found himself completely overwhelmed by the whole of the Bazaar.

He looks over at you, hoping you'd catch onto his sensory overload. He had forgotten his headphones at home, leaving himself feeling exposed.
