The place is getting busy now, with every table full and most of the available space taken up by people standing and waiting for the show. Everybody you can see seems to be waiting for the music to start, and the low lights combined with the sharp buzz of voices makes the atmosphere electric. Even knowing nothing about the music you're about to hear, you are caught up in the anticipation as well—and when you meet Marlowe's eye, they grin in excitement.

What will you do while you wait for the concert to start?

Marlowe accepts with a grateful smile, and after they hand you their phone, you get up and start looking for some good shots.

Since you realize that it's only supposed to be meant as a memory aid, you don't worry too much about finding the perfect framing and simply take as many pictures as you can from as many angles as possible. You make sure to get in as much of the room as you can in some, while at the same time taking a few close-ups of certain details like the instruments on the stage and the curtains on the walls. As long as Marlowe can remember how the place looked, you're sure they'll be able to recreate how they felt about the atmosphere in their article.

When you come back and hand them the phone so they can look through the pictures, you see a smile come onto their face almost at once.

"Wow, Huknock, this is so helpful! You've pretty much got the whole room—I was worried I wouldn't remember everything I wanted to, but this should really help if I need to remind myself of anything. Thanks so much!"

They beam, looking suddenly really happy that you would be so thoughtful.
