Steven questions the City’s borders

The window serves as Steven’s observation point, framing the City’s communal square and its illusory perfection. Its vantage allows him to contrast the City’s internal beauty with its external mysteries, symbolizing the group’s shifting perspective from awe to suspicion. The window’s role is both literal (a physical viewpoint) and metaphorical (a lens through which the City’s contradictions become visible).

Before: Unoccupied, offering an unobstructed view of the communal square’s fountains and music.
After: Now associated with Steven’s skepticism, the window becomes a symbol of the group’s growing distrust of the City’s narrative.
