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.

He glances back over his shoulder, as if checking to make sure Aino is really nearby.
