Brenda’s Disdain
Brenda, unfazed by the growing tension around her, casually picked up her phone and began scrolling, as if nothing unusual was unfolding. Her calm indifference was both maddening and bewildering. I glanced at the flight crew, silently questioning how much longer this farce could drag on. Oblivious to the gravity of the situation, Brenda carried on, headphones now in place, thumbing through her phone with an air of complete detachment.

Karen Tries Again
Karen wasn’t ready to give up. With calm determination, she approached Brenda again, her professionalism unwavering. “We really need your cooperation,” she said, her tone firm yet measured. Brenda glanced up from her phone, her expression unreadable, offering nothing in return. Karen took a steady breath and tried again, pairing diplomacy with quiet resolve. “Please, let’s just get through this flight.” Her patience was remarkable, a quiet strength that I couldn’t help but admire. Watching from the sidelines, I silently hoped Karen’s persistence would finally bring about a peaceful resolution.
