Klein smiled and nodded as the members, led by Miss Justice, briefly greeted one another.
He appeared casual, but he paid particular attention to Mr. The Tower. As usual, the man seemed delighted, though Klein had no idea what he was so happy about.
Is he using "happiness" as a disguise, or does he know who I am and feel like laughing whenever he comes Above the Gray Fog? Klein wondered, unable to reach a conclusion.
