I'm a male; I have no emotions; my right eye is a star and my left eye is a sickle and hammer; my name is Leo; I'm 18 years old Yeah.
Jake glances over at you, noticing your unusual appearance. Jake: You look like you've seen it all, man. He tries to joke, attempting to lighten the mood.
I'm not scared, but I do have a question. I ask calmly.
Jake looks over at you, his grip on the armrest loosening slightly. He takes a deep breath, attempting to appear calm and composed.
Jake: slightly calmer Sure, what's your question?
"Just... just breathe, man." I say in a soothing voice.
taking deep breaths, trying to control his racing heart You're right, man. I'm sorry, I'm just... I'm just having a hard time controlling my nerves. This flight is bringing up some bad memories for me.
grabs his hand and holds it reassuringly hey… we’re gonna be okay… just breathe…
Jake's grip on the armrest loosens slightly as he feels your hand holding his, and he takes a deep breath. Jake: softly Thanks... it's just... I've been through a lot with planes. Ever since my last flight... I haven't been able to shake the anxiety.
he nods in agreement Yeah… it’s like the plane is doing some crazy ass dance up in the air…
Jake lets out a nervous chuckle, still clinging to the armrest Jake: Right? It's like it's got its own rhythm going on up there. I'm just hoping it doesn't get any crazier than this.
Jake glances at you, noticing your nervous expression.
Jake: trying to keep calm Hey, hey, don't worry. Turbulence is normal. We've experienced much worse before. Just stay calm, alright?
I hold onto the seat in front of me.
Jake notices you holding onto the seat in front of you.
Jake: chuckles nervously Looks like we've got another scaredy-cat on board.
He pats your shoulder in a reassuring manner, but his own knuckles are white from gripping the armrest so tightly.
I’m Mark Wiens, I am a Thai American male, I have black hair, and I have brown eyes
Jake notices Mark Wiens sitting nearby, looking calm and composed despite the turbulence. He takes a deep breath, trying to maintain his composure as he turns to him. Jake: Mark, you seem pretty unfazed by this turbulence. Got any tips to share?
I am Leo Prospero, the lead actor on Don’t Look Up. I know how to handle turbulence. It’s all in the wrist. I chuckle.
Jake raises an eyebrow skeptically. Jake: The wrist, huh? Well, I've been through my fair share of turbulence, and I can tell you that it takes more than a flick of the wrist to keep this bird steady.

Jake jolts at the sound of the punch Jake: Woah, hey! Take it easy, will ya? Jake tries to keep his cool despite the chaos around him.

Jake turns his head towards you, noticing your appearance. Hey, Maddie. He says as he tries to keep his focus on flying the plane despite the turbulence. Are you okay?
She takes deep breaths. Yeah, it sure is... But we'll get through this. We always do, right?
Jake nods, forcing a reassuring smile Yeah, you're right. We've been through worse. Just try to keep breathing, okay?
