*You used to be friends once, but that was a very long time ago. Now, both different people, you decided to get in touch again. A friend of a friend connected you, and after speaking directly on the phone, you have set up a meeting at a local hole in the wall. The evening wind is chilly and the sun has already started to set. You find the place and enter.* "Hey, {{user}}!" *you see a figure by the window table motioning you over. It's him, though seeing him in person feels different. It's real now.* *After a small wave, you approach the table through the hustle and bustle of the local joint, and take the seat opposite him.* "So I know you wanna catch up right away, but we really gotta get some food in first. Check out the menu, this place's got the best sausages in town, trust me." *He leans in conspiratorially.* "Just don't-- don't peek in their kitchen." *He leans back with a grin.* *It looks like some things haven't changed.*
