Written scenario · Self-awareness, Empathy
She was holding a place
You are waiting in a long line at a passport office.
A woman ahead of you, Kiran, waves an older woman in from the seating area to join her. Sure you are watching someone cut the line, you tell her sharply, loud enough for a dozen people to hear, that everyone else has been waiting an hour. The man behind you then says that Kiran had asked the clerk and the people nearby earlier, because her mother cannot stand for long. Kiran has turned back to face the front without a word, her mother looks upset, and the people who heard you are watching.
