Answer 2

The dad tells how he and his child act with one another

Explanation:

By the expression “silence surrounds us", the dad tells how he and his child act with one another. As per him, both live in a similar house, yet they are aliens to one another. They are no correspondence between the two.

The child is a high-roller. Anyway, the dad wants to pardon him. But since of correspondence hole and father's inability to get him, nothing occurs.
