Something like that. Victor laughed. I’ve always found it interesting how people try to find their place, you know? But sometimes certain spaces just aren’t meant for everyone, like first class, for instance.
Keanu looked at him for a moment, assessing the situation, but maintained his calm demeanor. I think we all have our place, Keanu replied, and sometimes it’s exactly where we are. Victor let out a short laugh.
That’s nice, kind of philosophical even, but real life isn’t that simple. Keanu didn’t respond immediately, he just turned back to the window as if the conversation was over. But Victor wasn’t done yet.
You know what? Victor said, leaning slightly toward him. You might be sitting here, but there are things money can’t buy. Some places will never really belong to certain people.
This time, Keanu didn’t respond with words. He simply looked at him for a moment, with an expression that combined patience and a certain firmness. It was the kind of look that said more than any words ever could.
Victor, realizing his provocation hadn’t had the desired effect, leaned back into his seat with a satisfied smile. He thought he had the upper hand in the situation, but the truth was that things were only just beginning. Victor was convinced he was in control, but Keanu’s calmness hid something he couldn’t foresee.
With every passing minute, what seemed like a simple conversation was turning into something much bigger. With the plane already in the air, the in-flight service began. The flight attendant moved through first-class offering drinks, and Victor made sure to be noticed.
A glass of champagne, please, he said with a confident smile. Something that matches the exclusivity of this seat. The flight attendant, accustomed to demanding passengers, nodded with a professional smile.
When it was Keanu’s turn, he made a simple request. Just water, please. Victor didn’t miss the opportunity to comment.
He looked at Keanu with that same air of superiority and let out a chuckle. Water, he asked, almost laughing. Don’t tell me you’re going to waste the experience of flying first class with water.
Keanu took the bottle the flight attendant handed him and replied calmly, I’m fine with this. Sometimes simplicity is enough. Victor narrowed his eyes, as if trying to decipher the answer, but quickly decided to push back.
Yeah, I guess that works for people who settle for less. Not everyone is born to enjoy the best life has to offer. Keanu raised the bottle and took a small sip, not responding immediately.
Other passengers began to notice Victor’s provocative tone, but since Keanu appeared unbothered, no one intervened. Maybe the best is different for everyone, Keanu finally said, with the same calmness as always. Victor didn’t like the answer.
He took a deep breath, trying to maintain control of the conversation. Or maybe people who say that just never had access to what really matters. Some things are beyond the reach of certain people, you know.
The flight attendant, who was serving another passenger, cast a discreet glance in their direction, as if considering stepping in, but she noticed Keanu was handling the situation well. He responded with nothing more than a slight smile, turning back to look out the window. Victor, on the other hand, didn’t seem satisfied…
