The first two don’t really matter.
The first one might be a fluke, or it might be the busker on the street corner who needs to stand out.
The second one either feels bad for the first, admires his bravery, or catches that bravery from him, so he hops alongside for support.
It’s the 3rd that matters.
The 3rd makes it a scene. A group. He makes it socially acceptable to be part of that group. He creates a landing zone for those who are looking for a scene. He creates tension for those who see the group.
If you’re making something, you care about that 3rd person.
