Location
Festival of Lights
Will names the Festival of Lights as a lively local event glowing outside the left windows of Air Force One. He pitches it to reporters as a buoyant distraction—twinkling displays, cheering crowds below, and bursts of celebratory illumination against the night sky. This fictive spectacle aims to pull eyes from the F-16 threat on the right side, buying seconds amid rising panic. Reporters shuffle left before reality crashes in, underscoring the ploy's brief shine.

Diversion Fails — F‑16 Revealed; C.J. Seizes the Narrative
The 'Festival of Lights' functions here as an invented location used as a diversion; it is not a real physical site in the scene but a rhetorical place Will offers to redirect attention away from the right-side danger.
Atmosphere
Imagined, buoyant, and slightly absurd when tested by reporter skepticism.
Functional Role
A temporary, fabricated spectacle to distract and reorder attention.
Symbolic Significance
Embodies performative spin—an attempt to replace anxiety with a convivial image.
Described lights and bonfires, patterned displays supposedly visible from high altitude.
Serves only as conversational color until the fighter jet proves reality intrusive.
