Kyle didn't answer his phone, but he shortly sent you a text that read "Can you be at Bügger at 8?" You answer that you were planning to head there anyway, to which Kyle does not respond. It is already 7:45 so you quickly grab your things and dash six blocks to the bar. You walk past a man who is pacing in short steps and smoking a cigarette.
"Hey!" he shouts. "Where are you going?"
He is clearly shouting at you; nobody else is around. You stop and turn around. He looks familiar somehow, but you can't place him.
"Um... I'm sorry..." you stutter.
"It's okay, you're here now. We're getting slammed in there."
You don't know what to say. "I..." but the man tosses his cigarette, opens the door, and rushes inside. The door reads "Bügger" so you must have confused the location... this is the place where you are supposed to meet Both Lydia and Kyle.
You hesitate momentarily and pull the door open. The smoking man is standing halfway across the front of a crowded bar, watching you enter. He rolls his eyes and motions you to follow as he continues across the room, and finally, through a half-door and behind the bar. You follow him without understanding why. It's loud so he leans in close and shouts.
"I need you behind the bar! We've got the new guy on back!"
And then it hits you, slowly: The man... that's Matt... he's the bar manager. You've worked here before... weren't you supposed to work tonight? Yes... now you remember... you wash your hands and turn back toward the customers. A large queue has amassed sloppily along the front of the bar. Behind them, at a table, you can see Lydia sitting with a man. It looks like... is it... Kyle? You haven't seen him in so long... he looks like... he looks like you... More like you than you do...
