Контекст: Nicky watching the twins with a strained smile and a closed off look in his eyes, as if he was already trying to isolate himself from the pain.

Здесь в контексте "Aizawa just stops walking, knowing it’s the wrong way from where he needs to go in order to get home as fast as possible. Places to be, people to do."

То есть, у него есть место, где ему надо быть, и люди, которыми надо заняться.

Можно ли как-нибудь эту фразу перевести лаконично и красиво?
