 The reconnaissance plane does not seem to be avoiding it, and does not seem to be paying much attention to it.

"Well, here we go."

 < and the reconnaissance plane has closed to about 30 meters.

"But if he were the ultimate recluse, he would be ......."

 Jin and the others think, "But if he is the ultimate shut-in, he would deny it. If that were the case, the reconnaissance plane would have pulled out immediately.
