# data[].attributes.body
I think it means that he kept his eyes closed for a while. His father didn't want to relive the memory so he kept his eyes closed until it passed. It probably took awhile for it to pass, so Terry would wonder if his father is okay. It bothered him because his father is unwell. Anyone would act this way if their father was sick. They wouldn't want his eyes to go away. They wouldn't want him to close in on himself and relive the memory.
