Amir’s composure
Amir tried to focus on his work, his laptop open and eyes fixed on the screen. But Ingrid’s constant interruptions made concentration a daunting task. He inhaled deeply, striving to keep his composure as her loud, relentless complaints pierced through his thoughts. The noise around him grew harder to ignore, each outburst chipping away at his focus. Occasionally, sympathetic glances from nearby passengers met his, a silent acknowledgment of the challenge he faced. Yet, despite the chaos, Amir remained poised, absorbing the turmoil around him with quiet resilience.

Sympathetic glances
As Ingrid’s complaints grew louder, Amir began to notice the subtle shift in the atmosphere around him. A young man beside him offered a small nod of understanding, while an elderly woman across the aisle leaned in to whisper to her companion, “Poor man, he’s handling this well.” These quiet gestures of empathy provided Amir with a sense of solace. The mood in the cabin was unmistakable—most passengers were silently on his side. Though unspoken, their shared support created a comforting sense of solidarity amidst the rising tension.
