Now that the couple has been "woken from their delusion", this scene felt like they were sobering up to what’s really going on. That, even though the mystery surrounding their situation allured them to begin with, they might actually be in danger. Everyone on the planet. 

When I wrote the scenes with the little runaway boy, I mainly wrote them because I wanted to reveal the object that was the cause of everything, even though it seems to remain a mystery as to how it has caused everything.

This whole scene was a time for the characters to forget everything and just enjoy themselves....although, the inevitable was always at the back of their minds. While the world sleeps, these characters borrow it for a time, carefree, unfettered, living in a make-believe moment that they fool themselves with....just to get themselves ready for the confrontation. 

Now that the seriousness of the situation has been touched upon, what does the guilty party do before meeting his fate? Why, discuss intimacy with his lover, of course!

I thought this was one of the most interesting parts of this story. The point where all the so-called freedoms start to look different. Where the characters find out they aren’t free. Where their position in all this might be important, and that importance is scary. 

After a big action scene, it’s time to drop back into mystery....specifically, about the wrench. The little boy really has no idea what he’s messing with, and he happens to get another visit, but from someone else even more mysterious. Just what is that mirror for, anyway? Or does it have many purposes?
