Honestly, after all of that, Tommy wishes he could just stay indoors for a while. He wishes he could just drink an forget all of that- not because it was so awful, but rather because it wasn't.
Worse of all, he loved someone again. He fell in love hard, and fast, with someone he shouldn't have. And she loved him back- and she's on the ship again, now, with those memories of them riding together, hiding within the shadows, trading sweet, naive kisses.
It takes him a day to parse it all. To have a new family, a new love, happiness and then the devastation of the past few days. But eventually he does have to go out, since he has nothing resembling a fridge, and he needs to eat.
Of course, it figures that he sees her down the hallway- and it figures that it first instinct is to smile at her, that his stomach clenches pleasantly, that he wants to call her things he should not be calling her. It leaves him standing there, frozen, for just a little too long.
