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