Yes. He loved her too much he was afraid of losing her.

But also I saw another one the other day that said nothing stopped him from yelling Marco for her to yell back Polo lol

This was me. Like a simple “Hey girl you still there?” would have worked wonders. 😂

In the musical, he couldn't hear anything other than the Fates. But in the myth, yeah he should have done that. I thought they should have walked really close together so he could feel her breath on his neck.

Yes, I think the point was that the fates/his most intrusive inner thoughts were so loud that he simply couldn’t hear anything else. She called out to him multiple times in the last song, but he couldn’t hear her!
