i debated over to go with "it" or "he", but i felt like if the character was alone and staring at a wall as if in a staring contest, he would be in such a state as to really think the wall had a personality or was alive. I know it doesn't make sense, but thats kind of the point.
Similar to "Staring at the sun, until the morning", because you cant stare at the sun during the night. Except this part of the piece is intended to show one of the character's weaknesses as being a coward or being spineless.
Everything is supposed to be an admittance of weakness in a way, as well as confusion and carelessness.
