Difference close to 0 means the two integers are close together.

Sum between -4 and -20, along with the integers being close together, means each of the integers is (approximately) between -2 and -10.

Since the difference (first integer minus second) is to be negative, the first number has to be the smaller (i.e., more negative).

So examples are
-5 and -4
-8 and -7
-10 and -6

etc....
