Baqiu City, Jinya Airport.
It's now 1:25 in the afternoon, typically the time of day when the sunlight is the strongest—yet under the influence of "Eternal Night," the entire sky remains like a heavy black velvet curtain, not a hint of light penetrating through.
The pouring rain shows no sign of stopping, and looking down through the porthole, the runway's guiding lights are hazy and blurred, even the distant terminal building appears strangely unreal through the rain curtain.
The plane has already circled three times over the airport, and the pilot still hasn't decided on the optimal landing route—the visibility and weather conditions are just too poor, even the most skilled pilot wouldn't dare to guarantee a safe landing on the ground.
If Jinya Airport were able to open today, the screen in the departure hall would surely be filled with a large area of bright red "Flight Delays."
