The theme best supported by these lines from "The Crossover" is that people do not communicate well when they are upset. The idea that silence doesn't mean someone has run out of things to say, but rather that they are trying not to say them, suggests that there may be underlying emotions or conflicts that are preventing effective communication. This theme is reinforced by the implication that when people are upset, they may struggle to express themselves or find the right words to convey their thoughts and feelings.
