    Summary

    “Kim,” you say, and he blinks at you in the middle of putting out his hand. “There’s something fucked up going on.”

    “You must be from the 41st. I’m Lieutenant Kim Kitsuragi—though you seem to know that already.” He seems tense, for some reason—and his hand is still out. “I’m afraid I wasn’t told who you are.”

    “It’s me, Harry! Kim, don’t you remember me? Fuck, there’s something really wrong happening.”

    “If you’re referring to the dead body that has been hanging from a tree for seven days—then yes, I agree. It is pretty wrong.” Kim is looking at you with his mouth slightly pursed. There’s no recognition in his eyes—he looks at you like you’re a stranger.

    “This can’t be happening." Kim clears his throat.

    “You are clearly going through… something. But I would appreciate it if we could focus on the case for the moment.”

    “Oh my god,” you say. “We did it already, Kim, but for some reason I’m the only one who remembers! This is some—some cosmic joke from the universe, I’ll tell you that.”

    “Okay,” Kim says, slowly. “I’m going to give you a moment while I talk to the manager. You’re going to sit down and sort out whatever it is you’re doing. And then we’re going to take down that corpse.”

    Summary

    Harry loves Kim's apartment. It's perfect.

    Except there's only one shower.

    Kim’s showers are efficient, usually five minutes or less, except -

    VISUAL CALCULUS: Except sometimes they’re not.

    ELECTROCHEMISTRY: You know what he’s doing in there!

    INLAND EMPIRE: You do.

     

    PHYSICAL INSTRUMENT: You’re both men, are you not? Men in your early forties, but that’s nothing - and twice a week, Kim takes longer than usual in the shower.

    CONCEPTUALIZATION: Fifteen minutes. Usually in the mornings, before you drag yourself off your couch.

    DRAMA: He likes the plausible deniability. You’re not up yet, he doesn’t have to feel guilty.

    INLAND EMPIRE: Sometimes, though, he does it at night. One night - the dog days of summer, he can’t sleep, no one in the entire city is sleeping, if the irritability of the precinct, the circles under everyone’s eyes, and the crime rate is to be believed - he gets up and goes into the bathroom. You’re almost asleep, drifting, but wake to Kim’s bare feet padding through from bedroom to bathroom.

    PERCEPTION: You hear the groan of pipes, the sound of water hitting the tub. The pull of the shower curtain.

    Summary

    Radios, recovery, and romance.

    Or, Harry starts listening to the radio. It gives him something to hold onto. (And maybe discovers the lost island of Atlantide while he’s at it.)

    Featuring: WEATHER FM, SAD FM, MIRRORBALL FM, and SPEEDFREAKS FM

     

    KIM KITSURAGI: “You know, when I was a child, I used to pretend I was flying an aerostatic through the pale and had discovered Atlantide. Mostly when I was trying to fall asleep.”

    ESPRIT DE CORPS: He still does. Nights he really can’t sleep, he soars low, skimming the city: its tall clear buildings sparkling in the sun, the river snaking through the plain. Far below, a man looks up at him, shading his eyes. A child waves at him. A dog chases his shadow, snapping at it, never catching it.

    A tutor in the form of the coolest guy he has ever met: Kim Kitsuragi.

    LOGIC - That is the nickname that you secretly gave Kim. Kim is texting you.

    COMPOSURE - WHAT??

    EMPATHY - WHAT??
