The sentence helps develop the plot by showing the protagonist's desire to explore and venture beyond his current surroundings. This suggests that the protagonist is eager for adventure and is feeling constrained by his current environment.
The detail from the passage that best supports this is when the protagonist is described as feeling like he is "caught in some fevered dream, staring at the ceiling, wide awake." This description conveys a sense of restlessness and yearning for something more, which aligns with the idea of wanting to explore the world beyond the windows.
