    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

    YOU — “I really wanted it, Kim.” You sound desperate. “I was trying to get it right so hard. I’m sorry.”

    RHETORIC — The s whistles in your lips, and the word is acrid in your mouth as you say it. It doesn’t make you feel better.

    KIM KITSURAGI — He looks out through the window. It doesn’t face the sky, it’s only the obscured vision of the small alley. “I don’t doubt you wanted it, detective.”

    EMPATHY [Challenging: Success] — He’s not sure he has the words—or better, he has them, but he’s afraid they sound too clinical, too palliative. He’s not sure what you need right now.

    KIM KITSURAGI — “That’s not how anything works, unfortunately.”

    HALF LIGHT [Challenging: Failure] — What does he know about how things work? About how you work?

    YOU — “You don’t understand, Kim.” There’s something wet in your face again. “I don’t think I’ve *wanted* to stop before.” You wipe your cheeks with the back of your hand. “Jean said—did you know? Apparently I said to him—’I don’t want to get better. I want to get worse’. If this is what wanting to get better gets me—what’s the point?”

    (Or, Harry plays some board games, relapses, gets shot and adopts a cat, not necessarily in that order.)

    Summary

    YOU - Open the door.

    LOGIC - What. The. Fuck.

    REACTION SPEED - It’s Kim.

    PERCEPTION (SIGHT) - He appears to be… bleeding?

    KIM KITSURAGI - “Harry, I understand this is very shocking for you.” There is a bitter edge to his voice. “But I have had a very long night, and would appreciate it if you could pull yourself together enough to *let me inside*.”

    -

    The lieutenant has a rough night. Harry (attempts) to deduce what has happened. His skills won't *shut up*.

    Summary

    Harry finds himself in the liminal space between Martinaise and actually having to be Harry Du Bois again. He needs to return to his apartment, and his job, and his life, but the prospect is terrifying; everything that was once him is everything he can't allow himself to be ever again. Kim helps him make the transition, and Harry pines wildly over him. They eat food and talk about the homo-sexual underground. Harry tries not to cry a lot.
