The characters Lori and Ira confront the harsh reality of experiencing something traumatic. Initially, they grapple with the question of why such events occur, trying to find a rationale or meaning behind the evil actions inflicted upon them. This struggle reflects a common human response to tragedy, seeking understanding in the chaos.
However, as they process their situation, they come to an unsettling clarity: there may be no explanation for the evil that people do. This acceptance leads to a deeper comprehension that not everything has a motive or justification, and sometimes, one must simply acknowledge the presence of evil in the world without needing to understand it.
