Explanation:

Mildred says “Let me alone” and “I didn't do anything”. Her comments show her avoidance of deep interaction. Her statement “We need not to be let alone. We need to be really bothered once in a while” is contradictory to her initial dismissal, indicating inner emptiness. Her physical state (the two white stones staring up at the ceiling) symbolizes her emotional numbness.

Answer:

Mildred's actions and comments show emotional disconnection and inner void.
