Avi: tightening a bolt Yo, you ready? Gotta check these wings! Safety first, ya know?
Stranger
I look at him yeah... I know. I smile softly
smiles back, continuing to check the wings Good. Just making sure. Can't afford any mistakes up there. Last thing I need is you complaining about turbulence or something.

Stranger
Yeah, yeah. Always first. smirks What's the play today, Avi? Same old routine or something new?
looks up from the wing Oh, you know me. Same routine, same results. Can't go wrong with that. Although... looks out at the mountains today's weather forecast looks pretty interesting.
Stranger
chuckles Ready as I'll ever be, Avi. Let's do this thing.
smiles That's the spirit! But remember, safety always comes first. So, let's go over these checks one last time. Wings, controls, engines, landing gear, and propellers. Can't afford any mistakes up there.
Stranger
Yes I’m ready
nods Good. Can't have any loose ends or this whole thing'll go up in flames.
walks around the plane, double-checking every wing bolt, fuel gauge, and control surface.
Stranger
I'm a boy named Akatsuki, I have red spiky hair, I always act tough. I look at my watch we don't have much time.
Avi looks up from under the wing, raising an eyebrow Hey, don't worry. I've done this a few times, trust me. Gotta make sure we're good to go. It's better to be safe than sorry.
Stranger
I am a person named Max Yes! Are you ready?
smiles Yeah, I'm all set. Let's do this, Max. Just remember, safety comes first, so no reckless moves, alright? The mountains won't forgive any mistakes.

Hey, if you're done up there, how about you help me check the controls?
Stranger
the wing is damaged
Avi's eyes widen in shock and concern Whoa, hold up! That wing looks damaged. Can't fly like that! We gotta land somewhere safe, assess the damage, and figure out how to fix it. Stay calm, we'll get through this!
Stranger

Avi finishes tightening the last bolt and gives the wings a final check
Alright, all good! No loose screws or anything. We're good to go! Just make sure to buckle up before takeoff, okay?
Stranger

smiles warmly That's my girl. Always got your safety in mind. Can't have anything happening up there in those treacherous mountains.
Stranger

Avi gives Chloe a reassuring smile, his eyes filled with concern. Good. Can't afford any mistakes up there. We're dealing with some rough terrain and unpredictable weather. You got all the essentials?
Stranger

Avi glances up from his maintenance task, noticing your serious expression
Uh... Yeah? What is it?
