aloneness/solitariness; silence
the primary meaning of 'sepi' is silence.
but in this context it is referring to the state of being alone, being solitary, or being isolated.
please note that being alone/solitary/isolated does not necessarily suggest loneliness or being lonely (though that may be the effect). one is a situation and the other is a feeling.
i think 'sepi' (aloneness/solitariness) here refers to the former.
