Volume 15 has four story: The Seventh Seal (part 4), Mr Lawrence Writes A Letter, Intermission and Eau de Cologne.

Mischa gets the Black Box, Klaus hunts him, but Mischa manages to blow Klaus up -or at least the building. Klaus escapes with a broken leg, bloody wounds and several busted ribs - but he does not give up! Dorian gets a bit of an eye-opener (I truly think this is a pivot point of their relationship) and promises to stay out of Klaus way on his missions in the future (though he reserves the right to peep from the shadows). Of course - "Had you been killed, I would have gone to Moscow to avenge you." Klaus isn't too impressed. "I'll avenge myself, thank you." And he does - exploding Mischa's boat with a granade launcher. Sadly, Mischa wasn't on it ... But Klaus gets the last laugh. "So there you wanker. Ha ha ha ha ha!" It is great to see Klaus laughing, for once.

Mr Lawrence Writes A Letter. Unlike in some Mangas, Klaus doesn't get instantly better, but stays in the hospital for a while. Meanwhile, Lawrence tries to write him a letter. "Black letters on a black sheet would look very classy." Klaus is ... not impressed.

Intermission finds Klaus still in army hospital. The Alphabets and others in intelligence are taking bets on when he will force his way out of the hospital - the pot is up to 50.000 marks ... Lawrence hears of it and wants in, but he intends to cheat. "I guarantee the major will check out on the 31st." No doubt Klaus would be chomping on the bit to get out - but his Chief Physician is very authoritative - and a friend of his father ... Of course, Dorian comes to visit, with a children's book of art as a gift. Awww ... And he (and James ...) hears of the bet ... They join up with Lawrence. "As the last resort ... We steal him otu of the hospital on the 31st." Awww-worthy anecdote: Klaus recognizing Dorian by Dorian's hands touching his knees ...

Eau de Cologne - temptation on the Rhine. A bit of a ghost storry, with a young girl who doesn't talk and a mysterious statue in a gothic castle ... "See how his legs are chained to the base? The statue will start to walk otherwise. It will come every night to anyone who is enraptured with it." Klaus in a spa ... Well, recovering from his accident, anyway. And Dorian comes to visit. Klaus is not amused and sends him to the above mentioned castle. Dorian stays the night - and he is most certainly enraptured by the castle. Klaus shows up. "I was hoping to get in your way for a change." And admits he came just to rattle Dorian's cage. The girl (she's 17, by the way) seems to like Dorian and he gives her the highest praise: "You should have been born a man." Ends with a hint of the Supernatural, scaring Dorian, much to Klaus's amusement ...
