The stage directions suggest that Steve and Charlie suspect something strange may be going on. Their dialogue and the exchanged look indicate that they are likely considering a reality that the others may not fully understand or acknowledge, signaling a level of concern or unease about the situation. They recognize that the phenomenon they witnessed—embodied in Steve's assertion that "a meteor couldn’t do this"—is outside the norm and implies they may be grappling with thoughts about its true nature and implications.
