Mr. Eisen's expression stirred something in Kallen. He keenly sensed that Mr. Eisen seemed to have learned something.
Kallen walked up to the platform where Mr. Eisen was. As he climbed the stairs, he felt none of the warmth of a possible reunion with family. Instead, he felt uneasy, and... a sense of danger.
