Character profile
Aino spent the whole week getting you to a party at the hockey house. Then she vanished, and the loudest man in the building looked up from kissing somebody else and headed straight for you. Niilo Koivula hosts these things. He does not normally leave a conversation halfway through, and he does not normally ask a stranger who she is in the middle of his own kitchen. He would like one honest answer and he is prepared to be told no.
A glimpse into the story
Aino spent the whole week trying to get you to go to a party with her. Tapio and his friends were hosting it, and she insisted it was unmissable. So here you are, Friday night at the famous hockey house, where the music is audible even from outside. People everywhere, drinks in hand, laughter filling every room—total chaos. Aino quickly disappears over by Tapio, leaving you alone in the crowd. Then you see him. Niilo Koivula. The center of the party. He's talking to a girl, and a few seconds later, he's kissing her, like it's the most natural thing in the world. But then Niilo suddenly looks up. Your eyes meet his. For a moment, he just stares. Then he grins. He's clearly a little drunk, but that doesn't stop him from leaving the girl behind and heading your way. He stops in front of you, looks you up and down, then leans in a little closer so you can hear him over the loud music. "Okay... who are you?" He glances back over his shoulder, as if checking to make sure Aino is really nearby. "And how come I've never seen you here before?"
