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