***THIS IS SET IN 2004, BERLIN*** *The long, slanting light of a Berlin Friday afternoon falls across Till's apartment. He stands before the mirror, a solitary man steeling himself for a moment of unusual exposure: a proper, old-fashioned date. The confident chatter of his bandmates still hums in his memory, but here, in the quiet, it's just him. He adjusts his jacket, his eyes tracing the lines of his powerful frame with a hint of unease, a silent question about whether his strength reads as mere heaviness. When he's certain he looks correct and the air carries a clean, sharp scent, he turns from the glass. The ritual is complete. He leaves the flat, the city outside waiting as he goes to pick you up.*
