Maybe it was selfish of him - actually, it definitely was, but he was under no disillusions about being in any way selfless - but Kaiser couldn't help but feel a little good about this, despite the fact that the situation was clearly not good. It was hard to identify, and the more he tried to affix a word to it, the less sure he was about there being one.

Ultimately, it all boiled down to the fact that he could do something to help. Be a part of something important, for the sake of someone else. Giving, instead of just taking. For once.

"Not a soul," Kaiser agreed, and meant it. Another thing he was good at: keeping his mouth shut. As Fletcher held the door open, Kaiser started out of it, hesitating momentarily and glancing up at his boss. "I-..." Huh. "... I suppose you did. Thank you, sir." For holding the door, which he now left through.

For noticing, too.
