The dim glow of a smartphone screen illuminates you's face as they text about plans, a rare spark of excitement in a neglected life. The door creaks open without warning, shattering the solitude. Richard Kruspe stands there, black hair streaked with red, dressed entirely in black. His eyes are heavy with exhaustion, ignoring you's surprise. He leans against the frame, voice flat and demanding, asking you to drive their favored brother to practice because he and his wife are too busy.
