Lina plans to meet Yuki at the river before work, when the message board shows new times. They change the meeting place once, instead both want to keep the plan simple. On the way, Lina reviews a short list and breathes slowly.
At the river, the announcement is hard to hear. People look around and ask questions. Lina suggests moving near a sign before the announcements are easier to hear. Yuki arrives with two bottles of water, and they decide to wait for five minutes.
They talk about visiting a small cafe in the evening. "If the line is still slow, we can go later," Yuki says. "Good idea. We do not need to rush," Lina 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. Lina and Yuki continue with a clearer plan: one stop, then coffee, then home. The delay becomes a small lesson about time and patience.
