/Tling!
Hermann snaps awake instantly.
„If this is you, Hasi, I'm going to ... thank you,“ he grumbles. The glow-in-the-dark hands on the clock across his tiny bedroom show nine-ten.
He drags himself to the edge of his bed and his knee protests as he bends it to touch the floor. With a sharp breath and a curse for the latest air pressure change, he picks up his phone and taps in his pin.
Blinking at the unfamiliar American number, he reads the newest text message.
call_me_newt: Happy birthday penpal!
h_gottlieb: Newton Geiszler, is this your phone number?
call_me_newt: yup
call_me_newt: happy 25 dude

Hermann blushes.
h_gottlieb: Thank you again, Newton. Goodnight.
Hermann moves through his morning routine and strolls the three blocks to his office, knee complaining quietly, with a wide smile and a light heart.
