Yes! Wait are you talking about the second stage that was in the right/second monitor? I am.
I thought it was weird that the two pieces stayed with the second stage for at least a second or two, which was literally ~five+ kilometers. Perhaps there was an eddy created by the movement of the rocket or some weird space/vacuum effect I'm not well-versed in?

The second stage debris that you are talking about showed up when the stage stopped accelerating. The debris and stage were moving at the same speed, so it's normal that they drifted apart relatively slowly.
