That's not a question. Maybe that means he doesn't have to answer it. Elliot doesn't break the eye contact between them, but his eyes widen fractionally, and his face twitches, like he wants to break it.
Thought you might disappear.
He means go off the grid. He means go start a new life. He doesn't mean that he literally expected Elliot to fade into a mist, but right now they feel equally likely. Feels insubstantial.
He needs to answer. The gap in the conversation is becoming gaping and awkward and that means Tyrell expects him to answer even though it wasn't a question. So, after great consideration, Elliot shakes his head a little.
"Mm. No." This time he does break eye contact, just for a moment, just long enough to swivel his gaze madly around the car, then back to Tyrell. He should ask what Tyrell is going to do, but if Tyrell is thinking of disappearing himself, he probably won't tell. And if he isn't disappearing, then he'll tell without being asked.
