-I'm well with silence, Beth. I am still here in this house, in the room with too many windows. I am still exposed, in living flesh and living in hell. But I have Isaiah, and he's holding me. I slide down the wall until I can make a small ball on the floor. -I need you. -I'm here. -And we remain silent.
The passage reflects a moment of vulnerability where a character finds solace in another's presence despite feeling exposed and trapped in a painful environment.

Nevertheless, the connection with Isaiah brings a sense of comfort and support.
The silence shared between the two characters conveys intimacy and a deep understanding, revealing that sometimes words are unnecessary in the face of shared struggles. The act of curling up on the floor illustrates a desire for safety and warmth, highlighting the importance of their bond during difficult times.
