Clearly, Steve's apartment is his sanctuary and comfort, with its subdued sepia tones, old-fashioned furniture, dim lighting, all reminiscent of the forties. It's where Steve thinks about the past, trying to make sense of what he has lost. His blank, depressed reflection in the computer screen contrasts so painfully with the happiness of his WW2 footage. In the background, Steve's wartime uniform is maintained in picture-perfect condition on a lifeless, hollow mannequin, like the man he feels himself to be.

Is he forever destined to ride alone?
