I just woke up from a strange dream where you got lost on the way to Canada (you had wings, and they kept falling off) so I’m taking this as a sign 😅

I’m not worried about you but I would like you to make your flight haha

Avvai followed up with some pointers for getting to the airport sans-stress. I’ve had a couple of adventures on the metro already, and was planning to do the shuttle anyway, plus I’d figured out which airport I was going to to boot, but I was very grateful for her council anyway. A younger (incomprehensibly, more foolish) version of me would always take offence when receiving information that has reached me by other means, but no more.
