"My father own a Japanese car company. Sayuka Hayashi isn't my real name. It is an alias I gave myself for within the party."
"It is all a little complex and I am sure you are wondering why someone like me is a socialist, but, well, I was never really interested in the family business."
"Anyway, the tickets are for later this afternoon. We have a few hours before our flight takes off."

"This is my first time outside of Europe. I never had much enough money to travel." Heikki replies to Sakari.
"I've been to Russia and Germany though." Then Heikki remembers something...Das Ende. They are the reason the Nazis came to power. He worked with Das Ende for a little while, but hasn't talked to them since. "Das Ende...it's all their fault..." He says more to himself than to the others.

Frederick lets out a friendly laugh.
"I suppose I have." He says, then sits down. "Though I didn't come out of nowhere, people actually showed up to vote for me, even when I wasn't running." Frederick replies.
"They're upset that politicans aren't doing what they're supposed to be doing, and I'm actually going to do them. I should hope that causes a stir, maybe it'll teach them to listen to the people occasionally." Frederick says in general about politicians.

"Ah, that's cool." Sakari replies, and doesn't really think much of her father owning a car company.
"Das Ende?" I ask aloud. "They're nihilists aren't they?" I just remember that Heikki's a nihilist.
"Hey, that's cool. Do you know about them?"

"Well Germany has gone through some abnormal political circumstances. It is difficult for the politicians to do their job...when they were mysteriously poisoned." Vance replies, though there is no evidence that the national socialists were behind the mysterious poisonings. "Your government has done a few things to....cause concern for the international community. One was backing out of certain international organizations and agreements. We also hear rumors that political opponents to your government have suddenly...gone missing." Vance says as tactfully as he can.
"The U.S. has always valued friendly trade and political relations with Germany, but some of these things are just slightly alarming for us. It leads me to wonder what the intentions of your government are."
"Now, we are both aware of German history and I am certain you wouldn't...revisit some of those more dark and regretful times...but considering some of the bold actions your government has already taken, certain countries have reason for concern."
"Our ally Israel in particular."

"Das Ende is a group of German nihilists. I did some work with them in Russia and in Germany. They were the ones behind the poisonings that killed the members of the German Parliament about a month back. They poisoned the food at a banquet." Heikki explains.
"Their actions....helped the nazis to take power. They didn't mean for that. They were just pissed off at the government and wanted to do something big. So they did that."
He thinks about it for a long while and feels depressed at the outcome of things. Many of the ones who helped the nazis come to power may now be dead.
"Don't tell anyone. I could get in trouble."

I listen to what Heikki has to say and it really is horrible, but it helps me to understand the situation in Germany.
"I am sure the people in Germany won't stand for this. It is just a fluke thing."

Frederick loses his light hearted, friendly demeanor, and becomes serious.
"I don't really think it's any of the international community's business how Germany decides to run things within its own borders, especially Israel's. Their blatant war posturing is ironic, seeing as how we have no interest in how they run their country." Frederick replies.

Vance sits back in his seat, trying to maintain his calm and casual demeanor. He crosses his arms over his chest.
"Come now, there is no need to become upset. We are here to talk and to come to some sort of understanding. I would like to understand you and your party." Vance replies with a smile.
"If you want to opt out of inernational politics, so be it. We are simply worried about militance and trade." Vance replies, forgetting to add human rights.

"Whoa..." Sakari says out of lack of anything intelligent to say.
"I feel like I've stumbled on this secret terrorist plot or something... Well, it was a terrorist plot, but you know..."

"Let's head to the airport, we don't want to be late." I reply to Heikki and Sakari. Heikki worries me a little. I don't want to get in trouble for being around him. I feel he is somewhat dangerous, but then again I get that feeling from Sakari as well. Maybe I am too uptight about the law.
We all get into my rental car and I drive us to the airport, there we check in and go to our terminal to wait.

Heikki decides not to tell them any more about his past experiences with terrorism and nihilist groups. He has gone away from that in recent months anyway. He has turned his focus not at society, but inwards towards himself. He has a lot to figure out yet.
He waits at the airport with Sakari and Sayuka, but feels a little uncomfortable now that they know a little more about him.
"Want to play a card game Sakari? Maybe Crazy 8's." Heikki suggests. He hates card games but it is something to do.

"Of course." Frederick replies, in a friendlier tone of voice than before.
"I don't mean to make waves, mister Ashland. I simply want what's best for Germany." He says politely.
"And you have no need to worry, all of American investments and assets in German markets will remain unaltered."

"Yeah cards would be cool. You wanna play some cards too Sayuka?" Sakari asks, having on the surface, seeming to have already forgot about Das Ende.
I pull out a deck of cards from my back pocket, they're cheap cards I got at an amusement park with tickets, and are proportionately smaller than normal playing cards.

"Good, we would like to maintain favourable relations, unless of course you act in military aggression." Vance replies.
"We are more neutral about the recent elections. As long as our investments are safe and trade can continue, the largest of our worries are put to rest."
"But certain communities within the United States are very concerned about the situation in Germany. To avoid conflict with these groups within our country, we urge you to allow unhampered immigration of Jewish, Slavic, Romani, homosexual, or other groups to the United States or countries open to them."
