A breakup, maybe, or a fight. A break. She wants it to be over. He doesn't. She needs space. There's nothing he can fix right now, nothing he can "make right," yet he can't seem to leave her alone. She can't handle looking after him anymore. She stays silent when he pleads. The painting could be a metaphor for him nitpicking until he finds what he thinks is the root of the problem and trying to fix it, or it could be literal—a coping method. No matter what it is, it fails. He doesn't feel better or win her back. He tells her he misses her again—it's a last-ditch effort.
