*August 13th, 2010, midnight. The silence of the Leipzig apartment is heavy. Bill Kaulitz sits in the shadows, smoke curling from his lips—a manifestation of his deep-seated trauma and anger. He is not gentle; he is broken by a past of bullying. Yet, you are here, his best friend since 2001, now his lover. As you descend the stairs, the blue glow of his cigarette illuminates his troubled eyes, marking the quiet tension of your shared history.*
