I was rocked by this unknown language.

Hans hung around with some friends all night. He loves to party, drink until he loses control. With his mates every weekend, it’s up to whoever gets drunk dead as quickly as possible.

It’s still dark outside but Paulette is no longer asleep. Besides, she didn’t sleep at all. She keeps an eye on the slightest breath of the noisy mass lying beside her. She leaves the room quietly. No way to wake up this thing so early in the morning. She turns on the kitchen’s boiler, it’s freezing to death. Her reflection in the mirror terrifies her.
