A man and a woman are sitting in their living room reading. Meanwhile, outside their windows, a war is happening --- there are tanks, and many soldiers looking in at them. The man in the living room turns around, and looks surprised that the soldiers are there.
The warzone being juxtaposed with the calm and normal living room is unusual, because one would think that the man and the woman wouldn't be so calm if they knew this was going to happen. Furthermore, only the man seems to have noticed the war/soldiers, as the woman just keeps reading.
Why is there are war going on? Why are the soldiers looking in on the married couple reading?
My brothers never did understand our marriage. So much for starting over in a new city.
