Its interesting how much the mind wanders when you are physcally and mentally exhausted.

Suggesting you can get by with a lot based on looks, but there are lines you cannot cross. Going somewhere you are not supposd to be is dangerous.

The moon is a beakon of hope that reminds her of her husband. She does not want to think about her husband while she is in this room.

We now see that her goal is to follow the money. She does not need to remain with the same man the whole time, but progress means being with the most powerful man.

You don't appreciate what you have until its gone.

she keeps referencing the moon because it calms her. It symbolizes hope and that things will be okay.

metaphorical to how she doesn't know the context that she is in. Physical location is not the same as understanding her surroundings, or the people she is with.

The author is indicating that they have to do something but have not yet said what it is, from this line we are starting to see it is probably something big.

Its a weird concept that people can do this and have to sometimes. A coping mechanism usually, but in this case it seems to be on purpose.

She knows exactly what to say and how to act in order to get the response she wants. walking the reader through her thought process may be foreshadowing that she has ulterior motives.

This is an interesting concept about confirmation bias. When you expect something or hold certain beliefs, you tend to only then look for and see things that agree with your previously held viewpoint. This concept can easily be applied to other aspects of life

Second time this exact imagery of the baby carriage has been used. It started out bright and pretty but now it is torn and in the gutter resembling the situation that occurred.

With each new person the story goes through the more it is changed. Kind of reminds me of a game of telephone where the details are slightly changed with each new retelling until the point where it is completely different than the original.

Could this have larger significance about having children in general and how they affect people's lives?

The lyric of the music is drilled into all of their minds because in times of crisis people tend to remember things more vividly. Its an interesting coincidence that this is the line that is playing at this exact moment.

It is interesting to see everyone's first reaction in a time of crisis. The driver immediately thinks about culpability and the consequences to himself, some of the bystanders jump to trying to help the baby/bikers, while some of the other bystanders also jump to fault and yell to keep the scene intact for the police. I wonder what makes people react in a way of helping versus blaming.

A lot of detail is used to describe the man, his bike, and the baby throughout the story. These details are not really relevant to the events in the story but really paint a clear image in the reader's head so as the accident unfolds we can picture what is happening in detail.

could be metaphorical of their own situation.

It is never explicitly stated what is is, but something about the Mancuspia scares off the general public. People seem to avoid them at all costs leaving us to wonder if it is somehow connected to the headaches.

It seems like the whole story has been about working until some sort of ailment causes them discomfort and they name it as a stage. They then describe the stage and a possible treatment, then go back to work. It seems very repetitive and miserable. Their entire lives revolve around headaches and work.

First mention of headaches which should be important since it is the title of work. Author has mentioned a variety of treatments and medicines that they use that could possibly be due to the headaches.
