章 773: Unexpected Encounter on the Train

Getting on the train that would take him to Woodbury, Klaus noticed that some people's eyes were on him as he passed their seats. He checked in the reflection of a window to see if he had anything stuck to his face, even a crumb of toast or a smudge, but there was nothing, until as he sat down he saw a woman with a child approach him and say:

"Hello, you're Klaus Park, right? Please take a picture with my son, he's a big fan of yours."

Klaus finally understood why everyone was staring at him. Then he looked at the boy and saw a mixture of surprise and admiration in the young fan's shining eyes. The boy, with his T-shirt emblazoned with the Rise Online symbol, was trembling slightly with excitement as he shyly held up a poster with fan art of the Kaizen character. 

Facing the boy with a warm smile, Klaus readily agreed. "Sure, I'd be happy to take a picture with him!" said Klaus, getting up and positioning himself next to the boy for the long-awaited photo.
