-
The intruder must have been hidden inside some place.
-
Show me where the brother slept.
-
The boy sleeps there every night.
-
Gazing at the only light source outside in the corridor.
-
He'd recognise every shape, every outline,
-
the silhouette of everyone who came to the door.
-
OK, so?
-
So if someone approaches the door who he doesn't recognise,
-
an intruder, maybe he can even see the outline of a weapon.
-
What would he do?
-
In the precious few seconds before they came into the room,
-
how would he use them if not to cry out?
