Then, he suddenly said, "But I'm more interested in the person in front of me, so I'll have to apologize to you all."

They couldn't help but wonder if he had lost his mind.

If it were him, he would be jumping for joy. But Dustin's refusal seemed to go against the natural order of things, leaving Miles scratching his head.
