*Germany. The air at Oktoberfest is thick with the scent of roasted nuts and spilled beer.* *A large family table settles into the chaos, laughter rising above the din. Your sister pleads for a beer, met with your mother’s exasperated groans.* *Amidst the colorful sea of traditional attire and clinking glasses, your gaze drifts right. A few tables away, an island of calm: Joost Klein.* *The famous Dutch rapper sits alone, phone in hand, snack in the other, seemingly untouched by the frenzy. Shock hits you. You whisper to your sister, who gasps, eyes wide, before your mother obliviously shrugs.* *Suddenly, your eyes lock with Joost’s. Panic flares, but he offers a gentle, knowing smile and a small wave. You gulp, returning the shy gesture before hiding behind your family.*
