When Mersault is talking to Raymond Sintes, a neighbour of his, Raymond tells his tales of violence and asks Mersault for advice. Mersault seems withdrawn during his time with Raymond. Raymond had actually asked Mersault into his room so that he may ask Mersault opinion: “because I was a man, I knew about things, I could help him out, and then we’d be pals.” Mersault’s remains quiet in the conversation, but eventually does speak up: “I didn’t say anything, and he asked me again if I wanted to be pals. I said it was fine with me: he seemed pleased.” It really made no difference to Mersault’s if he was stated as a friend of Raymond’s or not. The way that Mersault’s does not contribute to the conversation and that it is just “fine with [him]” to be friends creates an image of indifference.
