A fight breaks out beside the table, but the diner stays with his food and phone. Label the distraction and the person who has other priorities.
The diner looks down at his phone while people fight a few feet away. His meal gives him something ordinary to focus on in the middle of the commotion.
Use the diner for someone carrying on with a small task while an argument takes over. The background can stand for a heated group chat, office debate or a game’s urgent main quest.
