It would be mysterious

Jazlene Melendez · Answer 2

mysterious.

Explanation:

The stage directions reveal a mysterious scene because there is a reason people are moving away from the man, but the reader does not know what the reason is, and this creates a mysterious mood that influences the reader's curiosity in knowing why these things are happening.
