In a scene between two estranged friends, Jae and Noor, Noor arrives late to a café and immediately begins talking about traffic. Jae listens, then slides a small envelope across the table. Noor does not open it; instead she turns it over and over, tracing the seal with her thumbnail. The narrator notes: "Noor kept her eyes on the envelope, as if looking up would make the room tilt." A student claims Noor's behavior signals fear of confrontation and an attempt to control her emotions through focus on an object. Which option best explains how the bolded sentence supports the claim?
