Doubts abounded

Rationally speaking, Klein did not believe that his "compatriot," who had left a light cocoon above the gray fog two hundred years ago and lived a second life, could still be alive. But his daughter, Bernadette Gustav, clearly thought otherwise. Not only had Queen Mystic traveled far and wide in search of every trace of her father, she had also instructed Cattleya, the Hermit who had joined the Tarot Club, to offer up his diary entries on several occasions, seeking a faint, elusive hope:

Analyzing these possibilities, Klein instructed his marionette to say:
