It was early in the morning, and the sky had just brightened up slightly. Most of the alleys were dark and quiet.
With the aid of Danitz's cloak, Klein blended into the shadows and quickly moved about. He felt as if his surroundings were grayish-black and transparent, with reality being blurred. All sounds seemed to come from the depths of the starry sky, empty and distant.
