Excellent answer (transcript): around CLB 11–12

The sun dips low, casting a warm orange hue over the ramps, rails, and scattered trees. I foresee the boy persisting with his moves, fueled by the fading light, while his peers remain, enthralled, until the encroaching darkness prompts their departure.
