In the scene, Adam and the narrator encounter an obstacle while trying to ascend the staircase; a man is blocking their way. To navigate this, Adam picks up the narrator, carefully lifting her over the man before stepping over him himself, demonstrating both concern for her safety and decisiveness in dealing with the situation.
As they move upstairs, Adam humorously warns Scott not to be found sprawled out on the walkway again, using a graphic metaphor to emphasize the seriousness of the warning. This interaction showcases the camaraderie and protective dynamic among the characters, adding depth to their relationships and the story.
