1) The listener: why did you pretend to be asleep? If you had shown that you were awake, if you had spoken, done something, what would be different? Would the whisperer still have left?
2) The whisperer: were your words for the sleeper, or for yourself? Did you think you could be heard, that whispering would have an effect on the sleeper? Did you know that the sleeper was not really asleep, was really the listener?
3) If so, why did you accept the fiction of sleeping, why did you whisper as if to a sleeping person? Did you wait, hope for a response? If you spoke, whispered, knowing that the listener was not asleep, then you were both pretending. If you were both pretending, then in what sense was what you spoke, whispered, true?
