It was very strange walking through|the hospital in darkness,

No sounds. Empty Beds.

It was strange when I saw the baby.|- Baby?

There was only because|he was a baby ...

... I never was very skilled with children.|- This means that there|is someone else.

You ran out of words?

Where do we sleep?|- I sleep there.

I thought you said that.
