How would you explain ‘the same’ in the context? She cocked her head, like a cat inspecting a mouse prior to consumption. “But…you are a writer, aren’t you? You write at night.” How could she know that? Now they will make it stop. “Pages and pages. César told me that. He said it’s like you’re possessed.” No confession. “I also believe you find it most interesting that Novo and Villaurrutia are sleeping with boys instead of girls? Don’t you.” None. “I’m not charging you with crimes, you know.” “No. No secrets, Señora Frida.” “What a lot of mierda. You always call me señora when you’re lying. So tell me, how are things in the soap opera of Los de Kitchen?” “The same, Frida. We’re just tedious little servants.” “Sóli, you are neither small nor tedious. Sooner or later you’re going to have to confide in me, one pierced soul to another. Sleep on it, Sóli. Consult your pillow.” How would you explain ‘the same’ in the sentence: The same, Frida. We’re just tedious little servants? The same as what? Thanks!

How are things? --"the same" Everything is the same. Nothing has changed. Nothing new or different has has happened.
