The stage directions suggest that Steve and Charlie suspect something strange may be going on. Their discussion about the meteor and the look they exchange indicate that they are aware of something unusual, which suggests they have a different perspective than the rest of the group. Instead of simply following the crowd or being fearful, their focus on the meteor implies they are questioning the situation and possibly have some knowledge of what is happening.
