Read the following excerpt from a short story:
At the bus stop, Kellan read a dog-eared paperback, turning pages with the same calm rhythm no matter how late the bus ran. Briar paced the curb, checking the street in both directions, muttering about incompetence and wasted afternoons. When Kellan said, "It'll come," Briar snapped, "That's what they want you to believe."
What is the primary function of the contrast between Kellan's quiet patience and Briar's suspicious agitation?
