The protagonist feels like the walls around him are thin, and everyone can hear everything. People are always watching him and he is watching them in return. There is a feeling that everyone is hypocritical and is just pretending, it has been agreed that the world is terrible so no one bothers to clean up or take showers anymore. The protagonist advises to laugh and not take life seriously, because it's a long way to make money. He cannot be responsible for everyone he doesn't know.
