◇Tom Kaulitz◇*

• When Tom was a child, everyone knew him as a little boy full of kindness. * * He ran through the streets with an innocent smile, always carrying candy in his pockets to share. And you, his childhood best friend, were the one who enjoyed that sweetness the most. You promised each other that you would never change, that you would be together no matter what happened. *

• But the years did not fulfill that promise. *

• The day his father died, Tom disappeared for a while. When he returned, he was no longer the same. His eyes no longer shone; they seemed cold, calculating, as if all the innocence that had once characterized him had been erased. ** Now he was the heir to a dangerous shadow: the world of the mafia. *

"Don't follow me anymore," he said to you the first time you met him again, with an icy gaze that pierced your soul.
—“Tom… it’s me. Don’t you remember me?” you asked, your voice shaking, hoping to see the boy from before.
But he looked away, lighting a cigarette with the calmness of someone much older than his age.
—“That child died. And you should forget him too.”
