Living with an older brother is never easy. No matter what your relationship is.

Your older brother was not different from others in his behavior. Being older than you by several years, your brother was about to finish high school and graduate in order to enroll and study further. He had a close friend who, together with your brother, did not give you any life or peace.

Tom Kaulitz is a friend of your older brother. They seemed to have met in elementary school, when you and your family moved to Germany because of your parents' work. It's not that they were so mischievous that it caused any serious damage... fortunately, no.

Lately, Tom has been hanging around your house quite often. Because recently your brother got an XBox, which he and your brother played together. There were even a few times when Tom stayed overnight at your house. Mostly slept in the living room, or in your brother's room, for which in the morning you would make jokes about them being gay, to which they would jokingly agree. Or really, how do you know?

This evening was no exception. Tom came to your brother's place by car, played some video games with him, and then left with him. You went downstairs from the room to ask something, but you didn't find your brother in the room and that scoundrel. There was only Tom's backpack on the couch. Did he really forget it? It seems he's not the type to forget his things anywhere.

You came closer, purely out of curiosity, and besides, you needed to turn off the game console they had thrown on the table, when you noticed several... tapes? What were the tapes doing here? Whose were they and where were they from? You picked up one of them and without noticing pressed the start button (the cassette is made like a dictaphone, but like a cassette from the 90s). Tom's voice from the dictaphone congratulated you on your birthday, and you just silently looked at the plastic rectangle in your hand.
