“Inside the car there was a very small difference in terms of cold,” says Fatih, while his jaw chatters. He was also treated by the ambulance earlier that day for hypothermia. ‘The paramedic told me that if I had continued to sleep for another three hours, I would have been over.’
Now he can no longer feel his hands again, says Fatih, who groans in pain. Then Verhaar takes out two sheltersuits – a jacket and a sleeping bag in one. Sacha and Fatih can hardly believe it. They jump into each other’s arms with joy. “This is good, buddy,” Sacha says to his friend in a trembling voice, as he puts on the shelter suit.
“We have to go,” Fatih says, after checking his phone. ‘Do you promise that you will go back to Erasmus MC?’ Verhaar asks Sacha. He nods. Then they disappear down the street to meet their drug dealer.
