Among all the passengers, one young woman stood out in particular — slim, striking, dressed in a pink tracksuit. A fitness model, as it later turned out.

She occupied two seats: on one she sat herself, legs crossed in a meditation pose, and on the adjacent seat she had neatly placed her suitcase, as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

Putting on her headphones, the woman closed her eyes and demonstratively “disconnected” from reality, as if dozens of people around her also didn’t have anywhere to sit.
