Missed connections and unspoken feelings can prevent meaningful relationships.
Both stories show characters who fail to communicate their feelings (Echo can only repeat others and Narcissus never returns her love; in "Checkouts" the young couple are too shy/hesitant to speak), so the relationships never develop.
