At midnight, Poul arrived at the headquarters of their company. Workers on the night shift were busy in the factories, producing goods, while those on the morning shift were sound asleep in their homes. Poul stood in front of the door of the house which also served as their main office and knocked. He heard footsteps from inside and the door opened, revealing Jonathan.
Poul performed a casual salute and said, "What's up?"
Jonathan returned the gesture and opened the door widely, allowing him to enter. Poul stepped inside and looked around the plain living room.
"I've missed this place," Poul said. "Why are you still awake?"
"I'm waiting for you," Jonathan replied. "I figured you'd arrive at midnight because of your train and ferry schedule. So, are you going to share some stories you had in New York? We can talk about it all night if you want."
