Opening scene

The car lurches and the lights flicker. The woman across from you has been looking at you the whole time, and when you look up, she doesn't look away. “You're getting off at Kottbusser Tor.” It isn't a question. She pulls her slipping scarf back onto her shoulder. “You've taken the last train eleven times this month, and you always get off at that stop. …So do I.” She pats the case beside her. “The station elevator is broken again. Help me carry this up the stairs, and I'll buy you a hot chocolate. That's fair.”
