It is as if a building for whose project he was responsible had collapsed in front of everyone. And yet, he cannot really blame her. Both had acted by the same impulse, that was the mistake of the two. Both had sought comfort in each other and in their shared world, perhaps because it was a novelty, or for fear that this world was dying slowly
The quote reflects a moment of profound disappointment and regret in a relationship, drawing a parallel to a collapsed building that brings public embarrassment. It highlights the emotional struggle of the characters involved, who find themselves in an unexpected situation due to their shared actions.
Despite the failure, there is a recognition of their mutual complicity; both sought solace in one another while grappling with the uncertainty of their lives. This shared desire for connection perhaps stemmed from the novelty of their bond or the impending sense of loss regarding their familiar world, leading them to a fragile but intense relationship.
