Compared to the other character, he seems to be more upset by what is happening rather than confused and concerned.
Image 2: This image shows two male characters looking in different directions.By looking at their body language it is clear that the older gentle man is protecting the other man as he is crouched over him. Looking at the same gentleman in the hat, his facial expression shows fear as he is looking into the distance suggesting that he is checking the surroundings. The other character is hurt/bleeding and has a shocked look upon his face. This also could be due to pain he is in. He seems to be shaken by what has happened.
