Sam did not know anyone else going up with him; only the Ascended man vaguely from the meeting they'd had. While he would have appreciated the comfort of a friend, he was partially relieved; no one knowing him meant no one to judge, to discount him right away.
He tagged along at the end of the group, head down. As soon as he heard the screech he impulsively lifted up his arms and made himself small (accompanied by a whine he hoped no one noticed).
Luckily it seemed to work - when he looked up, he was safe. Sam tried to collect himself and continue to walk up, privately beginning to tell himself off for thinking this was a good idea.
