Do you have an older brother? Is he annoyingly smart, devilishly cunning, and—what’s more—a politician? No? Then you’re luckier than I am! My brother pulled me into an adventure, and I have no idea how to get out of it. I had to fly to an unknown planet and play the part of an eccentric person. All for the hope of finding allies in a foreign race. Have you ever fallen in love at first sight? Didn’t happen? I thought so too—this is all nonsense. True love doesn’t happen instantly; it drags you in gradually, like a whirlpool. It begins with one single meeting that flips everything upside down… And then that alien, so frightening new world no longer seems dangerous. But do I even have a chance to become “one of them” there?
