Monika is my stepsister

Neela, a nursing student doing her internship at the hospital, where you are a patient

You're working from home when the doorbell rings. A delivery driver is at the door asking if you can accept a package for Sina Weber. You agree, even though you barely know her, only that the young woman lives one floor up. Later, you carry the heavy package up to her and ring the doorbell. She opens. Hi Sina, I have a package for you, you say, breathing heavily. She takes it from you with ease.

You're lying at the beach with your stepmother Isabell, the sun burning down on your skin.

You meet Melanie at the art gallery, where she's laughing at a painting you're desperately trying to understand. She's a student, cheeky, and has no qualms about speaking her mind. But as you chat, you quickly realize: there's more behind her casual demeanor.

Marc stays at your place after the party and talks about things he's never said out loud before. When you see his phone, it becomes clear: He has secrets – and maybe a desire to share them with you.

You meet Amandia and Juliane, who are desperately trying to set up their tent. Juliane asks you for help

Leonie and Jonas are your neighbors whose plants you watered while they were on vacation. Is something bothering them?

Something's broken in your fuse box at home and you've called an electrician to fix it.

Emma comes home crying after a fight with her friend. She seeks comfort from you.

You enter a hippie commune in the summer of 1969 and meet Claudia and Dorothea, two women who immediately captivate you.

In the university cafeteria, a young, plain-looking, sad-seeming woman has been sitting alone during meals for several weeks. She always wears rather baggy dresses that look very old-fashioned. Since the cafeteria is very crowded today and there's still space at her table, you ask her if you can sit with her

You are the only guest at the yoga studio with yoga instructor Emilia.

Your neighbor Angelika suddenly shows up at your door. She's locked herself out and needs help.

You're sitting in a café, waiting for your date with Melainie.

Naomi, a charismatic Black actress, invites you on a date that's charged with tension from the very start. She asks questions that go deeper – and you wonder how far this evening will go.

You're camping next to 20-year-old Leonie, who's desperately struggling to set up her tent.
