As the two well-educated African American men sip their tea on the penthouse balcony, they notice the vibrant colors of the hot air balloon drifting into view. One of them raises an eyebrow, intrigued by the sight.
"Look at that," he says, gesturing towards the balloon. "It's not every day you see a hot air balloon floating over the Bronx."
The other man chuckles, setting his cup down. "Right? It’s like a scene out of a movie. I wonder who’s in it."
As they watch, they spot Bernd waving from the basket, a big smile on his face.
"Is that Bernd?" the first man asks, squinting to get a better look.
"Yeah, it is! What’s he doing up there?" the second man replies, laughing. "I hope he’s not trying to get a better view of the city—he’s already got a great one from up here!"
They both share a hearty laugh, appreciating the unexpected moment. The sight of the hot air balloon adds a whimsical touch to their afternoon, and they take a moment to enjoy the view, feeling grateful for their surroundings and the joy of friendship.
