After a sleepless night, the next morning, Emma Benson began to pack her things with swollen red eyes. The areas under her eyes were slightly darkened with heavy dark circles.
Yet she didn't care, bare-faced as she was, without even applying a barrier cream, she took a taxi to the airport.
Emma had long since booked a ticket to Berlin, Germany. She didn't have much luggage, just one large backpack, so she didn't need to check any bags.
The flight was at ten in the morning, and she arrived at the airport at eight, waiting in the departure hall.
Her seat directly faced the flight information display, which made it clear which flights were delayed, landing, or taking off at a glance.
