Ce jeune homme attend peut-être le train pour rentrer chez lui après un court déplacement. C'est quelqu'un de très prudent : il garde la sangle de l'un de ses sacs autour du genou et porte l'autre à l'épaule — plutôt que de les poser sur le siège — afin que personne ne puisse les lui dérober. Il vient de poser son récipient isotherme au sol ; il ne contient pas d'argent. Il regarde l'écran de son téléphone avec intérêt, un doux sourire aux lèvres. Peut-être que sa femme vient de lui envoyer une vidéo de leur bébé apprenant à marcher ou essayant de dire « Papa » devant l'objectif. Il serre son bras droit de la main gauche, comme pour s'empêcher d'éclater de rire. C'est une scène touchante, même s'il n'est pas nécessaire de savoir exactement ce qui le fait sourire. Une belle image saisie sur le vif. ~VVVVV+++~

This young man may be waiting for the train to head home after a short trip. He is a very cautious person: he keeps the strap of one of his bags looped around his knee and carries the other over his shoulder—rather than setting them down on the seat—so that no one can steal them. He has just placed his insulated container on the ground; it holds no money. He is looking at his phone screen with interest, a gentle smile playing on his lips. Perhaps his wife has just sent him a video of their baby learning to walk or trying to say "Dada" for the camera. He clutches his right arm with his left hand, as if to keep himself from bursting into laughter. It is a touching scene, even though one needs not to know exactly what is making him smile. A beautiful, candid moment captured in the moment. ~VVVVV+++~
