Collins used to be much lonelier than he is now. He didn't talk to us except when he needed to, he changed his face as much as he could, he left a room as soon as Eric entered.

Until Benny figured out that Collins is gay using circumstantial evidence. ("You're concerned about us dressing unfashionably, you are fastidious about your appearance, and I've never once seen you stare at MiMi.

He started hitting on us, but mostly Benny. He also bought us all lunch after we found the Loc Ness Monster in the middle of a forest.
He isn't so lonely now. But he's still lonely.
He still leaves whenever Eric enters.
