If only it were not so quiet. (1.3)

Matt thinks his dad is ridiculous for saying this, but later finds out he was right on. Days just kind of blend together sometimes.
Quote #3
He just didn't like the feeling he had sometimes of someone watching him. He couldn't prove it. […] But he couldn't shake off the feeling that someone was there. (1.6)
Even when Matt enjoys being alone, he has this creepy feeling sometimes that he's being watched. And later on, of course, he finds out that people have been watching him. Do you think Saknis would have come out of his hiding place if Matt hadn't been hurt?
