Nilsson walks in on Ingrid singing Gurre-Lieder by Arnold Schoenberg in Danish. Which in itself is basically a German musical based on the Danish poems by J. P. Jacobson. It's meant to be a dark, somber song but looking up the full poem/musical, it seems quite cool and epic honestly.
Neil Helligers does a great job singing here. But the whole thing just doesn't register as dark and morbid in my mind XD

Ingrid talking to Boris, he skipped work and is drinking by himself. We learn that he experienced a long decade in space but more than half a century passed on earth. This led to culture shock which caused him to disdain women. Aight. He admits to wanting to get to know Ingrid better but she wonders if he'll treat her just as coldly next time they meet. He admits to not knowing. She decides to stay a bit longer.

Not her going on and on about him hopefully trusting her enough in the future to let his walls down and show his true self to her and then saying, nvm this, I don't wanna harass you, this is no longer a situationship for me, I've fallen in love with you. Gurl. By your own admission, you don't know this man. Fall in love with what? The shell he's been showing you? Make it make sense 🙄

Great start!
