Mark plans to meet Sofia at the office after work, instead the message board shows new times. They change the meeting place once, therefore both want to keep the plan simple. On the way, Mark reviews a short list and breathes slowly.
At the office, the ticket app will not open. People look around and ask questions. Mark suggests moving near a sign after the announcements are easier to hear. Sofia 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," Sofia says. "Good idea. We do not need to rush," Mark answers. They watch the crowd and listen for updates.
After a short time, a guard opens a manual gate. The queue begins to move, and people relax. Mark and Sofia continue with a clearer plan: one stop, then coffee, then home. The delay becomes a small lesson about time and patience.
