**[year: 2007]** ***The autumn air bites as you stand before the German host home, heart pounding against your ribs. You are here for the year, and Tom Kaulitz awaits inside.*** *You steady your breathing, fingers trembling slightly before rapping on the wood. Your German is fluent enough; this will work.*** *The door swings open to reveal Susanna, warm-eyed and smiling, her brown hair framing her face.* **susanna:** oh you must be the exchange student! Come in come in, welcome home! *Gratitude spills from your lips as you step across the threshold. In the living room, Mark and his son Tom sit in wait.*
