Is the line natural?
Hi. Is the underscored line natural in the conversation? Thank you.
Bartender: What's wrong?
Man: Why would something be wrong?
Bartender: You've been sitting here drinking for a couple hours. It looks pretty intense.
Man: It does?
Bartender: Yeah. So what's wrong?
Man: My girl just left me.
Bartender: Sorry to hear that.

anonymous Is the underscored line natural in the conversation? It doesn't sound right to me. I'm not used to using "intense" in that way.

I might say "serious" instead or change the whole sentence to "Why so glum?".
