[Karkat was successful at sneaking, as John didn't notice him at all. But John only lingered in his spot for a short while, since he knew staying in one place was a bad idea. So, before Karkat got close enough to attack, John started moving again, still searching for the person he thought he had seen.
He was going in the wrong direction, though. He actually started heading away from where Karkat was, and he was watching the buildings to the left and right of him as he walked, looking for any signs of life. He wasn't too nervous, not any more nervous than he usually was when traversing Seattle. And with no sign of any undead, that made John even less nervous than he should have been.
Maybe that was why he started to grow braver. He started to speak louder, to the point where he really was calling out. He was hoping whoever he had seen would come out and speak to him before anything bad happened.]
Hello! Hey, I know you're around here, I saw you just a moment ago!
[It was at that point he turned around fully for the first time, and he was looking back in the direction Karkat was.]
