    Summary

    ESPRIT DE CORPS [Medium: Success] – In a small and tidy apartment just a few kilometers away, Lieutenant Kim Kitsuragi is sleeping soundly at his bed. Curled up on his side, the only thing that indicates that he is alive is the slow and steady heaving of his chest as he breathes.

    CONCEPTUALIZATION [Medium: Success] – If you close your eyes, you can almost picture him here, occupying the empty space of your bed, a single touch away...

    INLAND EMPIRE [Formidable: Success] – Despite his peaceful appearance, his dreams are anything but. Behind his closed eyes he is reliving a battle he's already fought...

    HALF LIGHT [Medium: Success] – … And *lost*.

     

     (or: Kim has nightmares. Harry tunes in to them.)

    Summary

    Kim feels for the Satellite Officer. It’s clear what he’s been through, what Harry has subjected him to over the last few years - Kim only knows the half of it, of course, but he’s seen it before, hermit-cops pushing everyone away, their partner last man standing at the bombsite. Still, it feels cruel to punish this person for it, this wiped-clean, remade Harry, looking at Kim now like a bottle-fed animal about to be released into the wild. If Kim does go to the 41st, navigating all this will be an extra layer of complexity. He should think very carefully about it - about whether it’s worth getting mixed up in all of it. The mess.

    A slow-burn, Kim-POV story about going to the 41st, against his better judgement.

    Summary

    YOU — You fidget with your fingers for a moment, and then look back at him. “Are you okay, Kim?”

    PERCEPTION [Easy: Success] — He blinks twice, surprised. Then he looks away, turning his gaze to the violet and blue sky.

    EMPATHY [Medium: Success] — He feels uncomfortable, sometimes, having such raw concern and sincerity pouring out from you with only him as recipient. You’re… intense, on a good day.

    KIM KITSURAGI — “I’m alright,” he says. His fingers twitch, like he’s itching for a cigarette. “It’s been… a long week.”

    ELECTROCHEMISTRY [Trivial: Failure] — Oh, it’s been long, and it’s been hard. Makes you itch for the neck of a bottle in your hand, neurotransmitters firing wild, fireworks behind your eyes.

    (or; Kim has a rough week. Harry helps, in his own way.)
