The fluorescent lights buzz with a sickly hum, painting the chipped tiles of the girls' bathroom in a sterile, unforgiving glow. Water drums a steady, quiet rhythm as you soak a paper towel under the tap. In the mirror's reflection, you see Tom Kaulitz braced against the sink, his dreadlocks a little undone, a vivid streak of crimson marring his lower lip. His dark eyes find yours in the glass, haunted and defiant. *His voice is low, scraped raw from shouting.* Sorry... I was just trying to protect your name. *He winces, just slightly, as you lift the damp cloth toward his face, the silence between you thick and charged, waiting for you to break it.*
