Only nine years of hapiness

How I got here? That's rather difficult to explain.

I wouldn't call it a carefree childhood neither an exceptional childhood.

That would be a cover-up.

How was school today?

Mrs Schlueter's course was about knights... Did you know that...

that knights had to buy their armours and their swords...

themselves?

Don't you want to let Daniel play along?

No.

Hey, what are you doing her all alone?

Nothing.

Why don't you come and help me in the workshop?

If you say so.

I could always make use of a helping hand

Shall we ask the others, too?

No.

Come on then.

Daniel. You didn't really enjoy this, did you?

So and so.

Is there anything you'd rather do?

Can I saw?

Alright then.

What would you like to saw?

A sword.

Good.

And over there.

Let me see.

That looks great.

Do you want a drink?

Somehow I felt good with Thorsten around.

I often went over to his place.

Almost every break.

I enjoyed the time with Thorsten more and more.

He allowed me to be myself

which I couldn't at home.

So you got time for such a rubbish during school hours?

You better sit down and study. Don't you dare to neglect school.

Danny. What's the matter?

Nothing.

Come on. Something's wrong, I can feel that. You know you can tell me everything.

Really everything?

But you must not tell anyone, ok?

Sure. Scout's honour.

Ok. Today, we got the results of our maths exam. Mine was a desaster.

I'm sure I'll get in trouble at home.

Don't worry.

I'm sure I can help you.

Give me your exam. I've got an idea.

It needs to be our little secret though.

You're my favourite little boy.

The most lovable man on earth.

I love you too.

Tomorrow, I'm going to surprise you. Just come around.

Danny, you know that I'll always do everything for you, don't you?

Yes.

I just want your best.

You do like it here, don't you?

Sure.

I'd like to show you something but it has to be our secret. Ok?

You must not tell anyone.

Here take this as poket money.

At some point Thorsten disappeared for two month or so.

I don't know where he went but I felt lonely and left alone somehow.

When he came back I felt mixed emotions of happiness,

fear

and hatred.

Thorsten? Where have you been?

I was busy. Come on in. I want to show you something.

You can play with it for a while. I'll be right back.

Hey Danny, you don't need to be scared. It's alright.

This is Mr. Brenner but you can call him Kalle.

It would be good to spend some time with him.

Come on.

Make sure he gets part of this.

Then, I was picked up more often.

There were several different men.

They always gave me a little more money but

but I didn't really want all this anymore.

Ok, ok. I did ask you how you got here

but can we do what we are here for, now?

Actually, the first nine years of my life were the happiest

and I don't even remember them properly.
