Her internal monologue calling out to ‘bad silence’ without any previous reference to good/bad silence but still gesturing to it like an established idea… do you think she - 16 and dumb in a bright red skirt and headband - used to categorize him like that. Good silence, bad silence. What does that hum mean. Is this the kind of twitch of his shoulders which means she’s made him smile or the kind that gets her dismissed without a thought in the cold of the night. Again. Is that exhale exasperation or good humor. Always checking, was that a good silence, or a bad one.
