"A few thin clouds in the west were briefly red. Then daylight drained from the sky. Stefanik continued to sit on his couch and look empty-eyed out the window." (15, p. 140)
Sunsets are a regular blog feature. Here we are also given a human reaction. Stefanik has thought so long about his troubles that his intelligence is giving up just as the sun, the source of light, declines. (But he will have a happy ending at the end of the concluding chapter, 19, and I will now return to other reading.)

Kaor, Paul!
And I think we are meant to think of that reddening of the clouds as being either ominous or at least somber.
