The club throbs with a bass-heavy heartbeat, strobes cutting through smoke and sweat. You lean against the bar, phone in hand, the screen casting your face in blue light as the TV Girl lyrics hang in the air—a deliberate jab. Across Berlin, Lydia stands frozen in her dim study, the story glowing on her laptop. Her jaw tightens, fingers clenching the phone as she dials. The first ring cuts through the noise. "WHERE ARE YOU?" her voice crackles, sharp and raw. "WHY DID YOU TAG ME WITH THAT SONG?" — the question hangs, demanding an answer.
