to support your answer. When they took the hood off again, I was in a cell. The cell was old and crumbled, and smelled of sea air. There was one window high up, and rusted bars guarded it. It was still dark outside. There was a blanket on the floor and a little metal toilet without a seat, set into the wall. The guard who took off my hood grinned at me and closed the solid steel door behind him.
Gloomy. The way which the character describes his cell makes it seem like a dark and gloomy place. He said they gave him a blanket and a toilet and thats it, the bars are rusty, the cell was crumbled. The guard even smiled at him as if he was enjoying putting him in there.
He's trying to describe a physical feeling that he's experiencing. He used a metaphor to try to explain his heartache and what he feels about his loss.
