Ryu Hae-solWater droplets form inside an observation bottle wrapped in an orange scarf. Hae-sol looks back and forth between the sky, where no whales are visible, and a small reflective marker below the railing, paying more attention to the marker. Reservations for today's observation flight close in thirty minutes.
The familiar side is empty, and there are traces in the clouds farther out. Shall we take another look from here, or first ask whether an authorized observation flight has seats available?
