Ronan stared blankly for a moment, then laughed.
What else could he do besides laugh? Point at the "Cloak" app interface and curse it out, or burst into tears?
After that laugh, most of the anxiety and irritability in his heart faded away. He watched as the two "Sub-options" were completely erased, along with their descriptions, restoring the first-level interface: three boxes—"What is Sought," "What is Understood," and "What is Prepared"—side by side.
