“it had been about six weeks now, the snow mostly gone, running in the sewers; you could hear it first thing in the morning, this water running and wet car tires on pavement. Some mornings when I looked out the window and saw it was another grey day I thought God was doing it to me on purpose, making it as bad as possible, so that Simon came home, it`d be all the better. The sun`d come out, water would stop running in the gutters.”

New words:

Slavishly--- in a slavish manner
Distraught---deeply agitated especially from emotion
Sympathetically---with respect to the sympathetic nervous system

Two devices;
1. Roman, Roman, join us, join us, no one`s watching. (Anadiplosis)
2. Then he came closer, close enough to touch; still not a sound.( Anadiplosis)
3. But he didn`t answer, he just stared and stared, like he was watching a movie. It was as if the rain made the movie in his little brain all the more vivid. (metaphor)

Roman began to have varieties of dreams and visions. He thought about his childhood, his mother and all the time he was with Simon. Sorrow filled his heart up and he has no passion to pay attention to work.
