Whose situation is cited directly and whose must be inferred?

They are both pretty direct in chapter 6. Salva is certainly the more fleshed out direct character as opposed to Nya who is a little more indirect. In chapter 6 Nya and her family have been coming to the lake every year since she was born, and generations beforehand. Nevertheless, Nya only now realizes that her mother hates it here. There is no house, they cannot bring their things, and they have to dig for water. What is worse, though, is that Nya’s father and her older brother Dep have to go off to hunt and Nya’s mother does not know if they will ever return.
