Read the following description of the setting:

"The night was thick with humidity, the streets of Lagos glistened under the sodium‑lit lamps, and distant thunder rumbled like a warning. From his narrow balcony, Tunde could see the river's black surface swallowing the reflected lights, while the scent of wet earth rose from the alley below."

Explain how this setting influences Tunde's decision to remain silent rather than call out for help.
