The plane had taken off with Samuel on board, holding the envelope from the time capsule, waiting for the old man next to him to stop staring at it so he could open it and read it. The old man would end up getting bored and sleep, right? Because Samuel wanted peace while he read the words from his long-gone past.
However, the old man's eyes were fixated on the envelope, and utmost curiosity lingered around his face, saying words he wouldn't say to someone's face: 'Please hurry up and open this. It seems confidential, and my curiosity is killing me.'
Now that's when curiosity gets the best of someone, when they forget their courteous values and principles and stare onto someone else's belongings.
The old man reminded Samuel of Nancy; her curiosity and eagerness to learn were the forces that drove her this far along the road with Samuel. If it hadn't been for Nancy visiting him today, he wasn't sure if he had been so lighthearted at this moment.
