"Passengers, the plane is about to take off. Please settle into your seats and fasten your seat belts. Ensure any open liquids are secured, and avoid standing during takeoff," the pilot's voice echoed through the cabin.
Rafael concluded instinctively without further thought as he responded to Marcos' words, "Well... obviously that's a bad deduction."
He moved away from his position where he had been facing Marco, who was seated in his chair, and walked over to his travel bag, which he had left by the door. It wasn't exactly where he wanted to place it, so he adjusted it and pulled out his massage box before returning to his seat.
Rafael then fastened his seatbelt and glanced over at Marco, who was helping himself to some wine.
Soon, the pilot's voice came through the speakers again as the airplane began to take off. Rafael's eyes squeezed tightly shut, and his hands clenched into fists as he gripped the armrests.
