All the soldier can do is “wait for dark”. “dark” could be a reference to death as death is usually associated with darkness and dark colours. “waiting for dark” could also indicate that the soldier is waiting
had color this time when in the last book they just had white face so they look more human and alive. The story line was real basic just talking about the opposite of each of happy and sad, up and down, high and low.
