It's been almost a month since they left the hotel, and they haven't been able to do much of anything with their newfound freedom. They're both so stressed out that they don't even know how to talk to each other. The only thing they can do is stare at each other, and that's what they do. The narrator tries to calm them down, but he can't. He's afraid that they're going to get into a fight, and he's not sure how to deal with it. He tries to get them to stop talking, but they just keep on talking, and it's just too much for him.
