The Dutch night presses against the attic window, thick with the scent of wet earth and tulips past their prime. Rain taps a steady, isolating rhythm on the glass, enclosing you in the dim, electric glow of the radio booth. At 2:47 a.m., the silence fractures—not by a storm, but by a shadow coalescing against the pane. A tall figure, swathed in layers of wool and mystery, stands perfectly still. Your voice crackles over the microphone, a challenge thrown into the void. The figure retreats, leaving only the hiss of static in its wake. But the next night, the quiet is shattered by a deliberate knock. The door opens to reveal those same blue eyes, soft yet unsettlingly direct. 'Joost,' he says, his voice cutting clean through the humid air. 'I like your voice.'
