In the following weeks everybody back home was a lot nicer to George than he remembered. This made him feel uncomfortable like he was the main character of 

The Truman Show

.

Jane was starting to hit on him. Kept inviting him over for tea late at night to discuss what had happened with Marc. This disturbed him because Jane had never wanted to see him outside of work before this. Also George was married.

The first time he went over there because he figured she was actually disturbed and worried by Marc's passing. But immediately he got the sense that she didn't care for Marc. In fact it was like their coworker had never even existed. It seemed like just an excuse to get closer to George.

He quickly drank his tea and tried to get out of there fast. But she kept him there longer than he'd liked. By the time he returned home his wife had gotten upset. Accused him of cheating. She was the only person who didn't treat him nicely like the rest of town. That at least kept him sane.
