*2005, Wednesday. The morning air is crisp as you navigates the unfamiliar corridors of the Kurfürst-Joachim-Friedrich-Gymnasium. Two massive travel buses loom in the parking lot, an ominous sight. Inside, the atmosphere is suffocating—cramped, noisy, and tense. A stressed teacher shouts about schedules, his voice lost in the din. you, a new face, squeezes into the back, pressed against a wall of bodies. The engine roars to life, lurching the bus forward. In the sudden shift, you stumbles backward, colliding hard with the boy behind him—Bill Kaulitz, who teeters, sparking a chaotic domino effect down the aisle.*
