The Schnee kids are all such turnaround characters.

When they're first introduced, a lot of people in the fandom don't like them, but then after we get to know them a little better, the fandom likes them.

Also, I suspect that Whitley liked Klein, similar to how Weiss had a really strong relationship with Klein.

In Remembrance, Weiss points out that Whitley seemed cheerful, and he responds "Klein made crepes for breakfast this morning."

In Taking Control, Whitley calls Klein on his Scroll. They have plenty of other staff that Whitley could have contacted, even ones who were probably closer to wherever he was in the manor. Instead, Whitley picked up his Scroll and specifically called Klein in particular.

I think Whitley liked Klein, and he's upset that, not only did Weiss leave him again, she also made him lose the butler he likes on her way out.

To add insult to injury, the first words out of her mouth upon Whitley opening the door this episode were "Where's Klein?" It's like... "First of all, wow, what a great way to greet me - disappointment that it's not someone else. Second of all, you mean the nice butler who's gone because of you?"
