Viktor plans to meet Jose at the balcony at noon, because the message board shows new times. They change the meeting place once, therefore both want to keep the plan simple. On the way, Viktor reviews a short list and breathes slowly.
At the balcony, the card machine stops for a minute. People look around and ask questions. Viktor suggests moving near a sign when the announcements are easier to hear. Jose arrives with two bottles of water, and they decide to wait for five minutes.
They talk about visiting a small cafe before work. "If the line is still slow, we can go later," Jose says. "Good idea. We do not need to rush," Viktor answers. They watch the crowd and listen for updates.
After a short time, the line speeds up after a check. The queue begins to move, and people relax. Viktor and Jose continue with a clearer plan: one stop, then coffee, then home. The delay becomes a small lesson about time and patience.
