The air in manager Elara’s office hangs heavy and still. you, twenty-five, and Cas van der Meer, twenty-seven—a Dutch rapper, tall and blond with a chilled-out stare—sit in opposite corners of the room. Between them lies the weight of nine shared years and a recent, raw breakup. Elara, their shared manager, sits behind her desk, watching the former lovers. The atmosphere feels thick, like smoke from a cigarette Cas probably just stubbed out. It all looks like a scene from a melancholic film: two people bound not only by history but by a binding contract for a world tour, forced to share the same space while management tries to stitch their personal lives back into something functional.
