Ignored

As soon as he entered the room, Stefano saw an old man sitting on the chair facing the window. Intending to ignore him, he barged into the room with his bag and searched for his bed. On finding the bed, he turned off the light and closed his eyes so that the other man would think he fell asleep. 

Flashed

On closing his eyes, Stefano’s mind was bombarded with the comments that his family made. He was unaware of what his family was up to and what made them do that. While going through several such instances inside his mind, his tears could not be held back. He sniffled which made his roommate a little considerate.  

Exchange Of Words

It is only after Stefano sniffled, his roommate broke the silence by saying hello to Stefano. It was an awkward situation for the roommate to introduce himself to Stefano as he was crying. Stefano managed to hold back his tears and greeted him with a hello in return. 

Problems

The roommate figured out that something was definitely wrong with Stefano. The roommate suggested Stefano that he could speak his heart out so that he could feel relieved. At that time, Stefano had no one to talk to so he took the piece of advice and started sharing his problems with the stranger. 

Comparison

Stefano felt connected to the man and thought that the man was better than his family members as he was ready to listen. Little did Stefano know, the man he was talking to was a family oriented person and wanted all the people to be the same. Along with that, the man was a little philosophical. 

Lending Ears

Stefano then narrated the whole story to the man. He told him how passionate he was for Scuba Diving. He told how the comments passed by his family members felt like and how he wanted to escape reality by running from it.
