The woman quietly entered the multipurpose hall and said, “I’m sorry to interrupt, but I need to ask you to leave for a bit. We need to fix a glitch in the video and it has to be done remotely.”


Glitch? I didn’t notice any glitch, or even her approaching, engrossed as I was in the changing, moving landscapes of nature, people, and animals.


“It’s an almost imperceptible glitch minutes ago,” the woman said. “Imperceptible” was right. I rose from my bench still scanning the animated walls for the so-called glitch.


“It’ll only take about 10 minutes,” the woman said. “You can come back after that.”


“No worries,” I told her. “We’ve watched all the videos.”


We followed the woman to the exit and, before she could disappear into the hall’s corner, I said, “Kamsahamnida.” She echoed me, smiling, and was gone. I didn’t catch her name.
