YOU

FRAUKE LEWIN was the only one you were really taken by. When you took a closer look at the agency, she stood out right away. Something about her fascinated you. She seemed different from Tamara Berger, who struck you as fragile and anxious, too weak for real life. She was different from Kris Marrer, who seemed to consist entirely of corners and edges. And she was different from his little brother Wolf, who might have looked predictable, but you knew it was only an illusion. Those of us with feelings of guilt are the most unpredictable of creatures.

You concentrated on Frauke Lewin. For two days you were so close to her that in retrospect you wonder why she didn’t notice you. There was a closeness there, there was a connection, there was … You still can’t quite grasp it. You only know that you wanted to find out more about her.

You disliked her father right off. But you were fascinated by her mother. Her medical report, her life before and after she was admitted to the clinic, her relationship with Frauke. You saw where the guilt came from and decided to pay her mother a visit. It was a stupid idea. It was irresponsible and dangerous of you. And then she turned you away and didn’t tell you anything. Nonetheless your visit was worth it. You not only came a bit closer to Frauke, no, she phoned you and wanted to see you. And now that Krumme Lanke is the only thing separating you, you really regret that there’s this problem between you. You wish you’d met her in normal life. You also wish she’d think about everything in peace. With a cool head. She would understand you. With more sympathy she would understand you. But like this …

“You aren’t really a part of it,” you say and try to read her facial expression in the distance. “You should forgive yourself, Frauke, that’s the first step, and no one else can—”

“HOW DARE YOU MEDDLE IN MY LIFE!” her voice rings out across the ice.

For a moment you’re speechless, then you say carefully, “So I’ve touched a raw nerve, then.”

They’re the wrong words, the conversation is over. Frauke puts her phone away, ducks down, and suddenly comes running toward you. How can she be so brave? After ten meters her woollen cap flies off her head and falls on the ice, her coat opens like a black flower. You can make out her determined expression, her arms pump away in the rhythm of her footsteps, something metallic glitters in her hand.

She’s attacking me, you think and can’t believe it, she’s really attacking me. The big question now is, what are you going to do if she makes it across to your side? Are you going to have a fight with her? Look at her face, she’s a Fury. You could run away and—

I’m not going to make a fool of myself.

Frauke has crossed the middle of the lake. She shows no hesitation, she has only one goal in mind.
