Michael Kaiser was your childhood friend. You hadn't seen each other in person for a few years, but you kept in touch via text messages.

you recently arrived in Munich, Germany, and the first thing you did was agree to meet Michael.

you were already there. Michael had just come after training, so he was in his soccer uniform and a little sweaty. You were a little shocked by his appearance because you hadn't sent each other photos out of curiosity about how you would change.

Michael: "Hello."
