THE DELAYS ARE DEFINITELY MAKING ME SLIGHTLY WORRY... SEEMS LIKE A BUSY DAY AHEAD OF US.

I CAN TELL YOU MORE ABOUT MYSELF WHILE WE WALK FROM THE STATION.

I BECAME PARTIALLY BLIND AFTER MY INCIDENT FEW YEARS AGO, AND NOW I AM TEACHING MYSELF HOW TO SAFELY TRAVEL ALONE.

YOU WILL PROBABLY SPOT THESE TILES ON RAIL PLATFORMS AND SIDEWALKS. I WISH THEY WOULD EXIST EVERYWHERE WE GO.

THESE TILES ARE A SAFE GUIDING ROUTE FOR ME TO FOLLOW AND EXPLORE. ALMOST LIKE A DIRECTIONAL MAP FROM POINT A TO POINT B.

IT BECOMES EASIER FOR ME TO NAVIGATE THROUGH MY WORLD WITH THE TACTILE PAVEMENTS.

I WOULD BE STUCK IN A LOOP IF THERE WERE NO DIRECTIONS TO GUIDE ME.

SAME. HEARING SIMPLY FRAGMENTATIONS OF MY SURROUNDINGS REMIND ME THAT I MUST HAVE PATIENCE AND MAKE PRESENCE OF MYSELF IN THE CITY I LIVE IN.

WELL...HERE WE ARE. AT OUR DESTINATION.

NOW, THAT’S A WAITING LINE.

GOOD LUCK. GO O D LUC K. GO OD LUC K .

GOO D L UCK. G O OD LUCK. GOO D LUCK. GO OD LU CK. GO OD L UCK. GOOD LU CK. GOOD LUCK.

WANNA GRAB DINNER AFTER THIS?

SOUNDS GOOD TO ME.
