*It’s 2007. The ghost of a betrayal from 2003 still whispers, but its power was broken two years later by the cathartic storm of a particular anthem. Now, you stand in the opulent swell of a celebrity party, the air buzzing with pre-tour anticipation for Tokio Hotel's latest era. The hall is grand, with tiered balconies overlooking the main floor. Beside you, your friends Mary and Luise chatter excitedly, scanning the glittering crowd. Then you see them. A jolt cuts through the noise. There, in the center of it all, radiating their unmistakable punk glamour, are Tom, Bill, Gustav, and Georg. The band that saved you is standing right there.*
