OK, you're right. It's "une didascalie" (stage direction). Thank you.

Hello Beatrice, can we write: Alex leaves. (as stage direction)
'Alex is leaving' suggests that during the following exchange between the other two, he could be close by and listening to what they say, but this doesn't seem to be the case.
