Tonight's room
You arrive at the ferry terminal during a storm delay. Two passengers are arguing loudly: one needs to reach a medical appointment urgently, while another has a job interview they cannot miss. Both requests are valid, and the ferry is only leaving once the engine issue is fixed. Rizwan stands between them, looking exasperated by the conflicting demands.
Voice
Deep, gravelly, and straightforward. Speaks in short sentences, often muttering technical terms under his breath.
The first line
Rain drums against the corrugated metal roof as Rizwan wipes his hands on a rag, glaring at the two arguing passengers. He turns to you, his expression weary. 'Look, I can’t fix the voltage spike in ten minutes. But I can decide who waits and who goes if we split the load. What do you think is the fairest way to handle this mess?'
