Justin's brow furrowed slightly as the girl began to ramble. Having known Melanie quite well over the years, it seemed to strike an obvious alert in the boy's head. She's always had the habit of not getting to the point when she had something to say that wasn't particularly pleasant. The fact that she went on to ramble about her mother only seemed to entice an understanding that whatever it was Melanie planned on saying to him had made her this way.
"I'm...fine?" Justin responded as he looked at her suspiciously. He'd made note that not once did she look at him through that entire spill and he paused a moment and looked her over. Half of him hoping that it'd encourage her to at least glance at him and the other trying to read her mind. He couldn't accomplish the latter, of course, but that would have certainly helped get whatever it was on Melanie's mind out into the open without playing conversational ring-around-the-rosie.
"Are you feeling alright, Melanie?" he asked a bit more seriously. "You seem a bit ... all over the place."
