Flight Shudder
Just as a sense of calm was beginning to settle in, a sudden jolt of turbulence rattled the cabin, sending drinks sloshing and drawing startled gasps from passengers. The unexpected shake momentarily shifted our focus—from the lingering tension over Karen’s behavior to the raw reality of being thousands of feet in the air. Instinctively, hands gripped armrests and seatbacks as we steadied ourselves, the plane continuing on its course. It was a sobering reminder of our vulnerability, caught between the chaos inside and the vast sky beyond.

Amid the turbulence, Marcus’s phone slipped from his hands, disappearing beneath his seat with a dull thud.

For a moment, the tension of earlier events gave way to this minor but relatable struggle. A few passengers glanced over, poised to offer help, but Marcus gave a quick shake of the head and managed on his own, regaining both his phone and his composure.
