Meaning of "少し外す"


Can "少し外す" mean "zoned out/lost focus"

I can send the source material I read it in, if that helps.

Edit: For those asking for context, here its the bit in the manga:

In this context, 外す means "to leave (for a moment)", "to step out", "to go
away from keyboard", etc. See the third definition on jisho.org:
