"Look at what you've done!"
"How can you not understand the importance of this shoot?"
The middle-aged team leader's hand trembled as he pointed at a camera that had inadvertently fallen into a water pit, its body mostly submerged and clearly no longer functioning.
The young man's face was full of regret, his hands fidgeting nervously.
"I really didn't mean to, I...I was just trying to find a better angle, and didn't expect to slip..."
His voice grew fainter, almost drowned out by the surrounding chatter.
A lady nearby glanced at the crowd and tried to defuse the situation, "Everyone, please calm down. The most important thing right now is to find a solution. Don't we have spare equipment? Let's see if this damaged equipment can be urgently fixed. If it can be, then it's all good; if not, we can accept that."
The sudden quarrel added a few discordant notes to the tranquility of the morning.
