I wonder why they shot at the tidy bed but not the unkempt one. The narrator seems to imply he knew hiding under the unkempt one was the better option. Why is that ? Also, what's with "holding the bed with my toes and fists" ? I don't picture that really well.

> I wonder why they shot at the tidy bed but not the unkempt one. The narrator seems to imply he knew hiding under the unkempt one was the better option. Why is that ? I wondered this as well. He did say he has had significant training, but honestly, I think this was just pure luck.

  When breaking places the intact things are broken first. Breaking an already broken vase just isn’t the same. Just my hunch at least. Untidy bed is already ”broken”.

    To me it’s very close to 50/50 maybe 55/44 but maybe that is the difference.

> Also, what's with "holding the bed with my toes and fists" ? I don't picture that really well. The bed didn't have enough space for him to fit with its legs on the floor. I imagine he was lying face-up under the bed, with his arms outstretched, fists balled up supporting one end of the bed (under strut). At the other end, his heels would have been on the floor, with his toes bearing the weight of the bed edit: uploaded my badly drawn interpretation https://imgur.com/a/Q3kBA1T https://imgur.com/a/Q3kBA1T

  (Nice drawing). Hopefully the assailant only sat up on the bed after our guy tore it open and slid inside the frame. Still, he stayed hours at first, holding the bed 10 centimeters from the ground.
