"...Captain?" Klein turned his pleading eyes to Dunn, and saw the frown between his eyebrows as deep as a knife.

After a long while, Dunn took a deep breath and slowly exhaled:

"Klein, can you recall what Old Neil said and did in front of you? No matter what the details are, can you please tell them in as much detail as possible?"

Although this request seemed a bit strange and inappropriate at the moment, Klein vaguely grasped the captain's intention.

So he transferred his memory back to the first day he met Old Neil. The image of the old man in black robe reading the pages under the elegant gas lamp and drinking hand-ground coffee seemed as clear as yesterday; he recalled how Old Neil taught him how to use it properly.

"The Reimbursement Method", how to use the pendulum for divination...

"Klein, it's okay."

"...What's all right?" Klein was still a little confused for a moment, not understanding what went wrong with his narrative.

Dunn no longer answered him, but silently put his hands into the pockets of his windbreaker, walked slowly to the door, and then turned to look at the two Nighthawks members with ugly faces.
