It might have been a bad plan to go out to the waterfront when he still hadn't gotten a decent handle on whatever this weird echo had done to him. He kept getting distracted by something else he just had to notice, and half the time he had to turn to see it, since it didn't seem to matter whether the thing was in his peripheral vision or not.

This lead to him getting in the way of other people more often then not. Which had lead to the unpleasant discovery that it wasn't just objects. After the third time trying to apologize for standing in the wrong spot had lead to his paying attention to the state of people's shoes and the patina of their wedding rings, Jimmy was about ready to give up.
