Summary
Jean hands his water to Harry, then lies back against the pillows, his eyes closing. “Harry...”
“Yes?” Harry says with a goony smile, hoping for an unguarded admission of love to slip out while Jean is under the influence of mind-altering substances.
But Jean just rasps, “Did you make your fucking IG statement yet?”

The lieutenant admits he hasn’t been smoking much lately. He stopped smoking out of boredom, and now not smoking is causing him boredom. You offer to break his streak with him.
He nods. “Mm. I would like that.”
While you speak, you notice Kim idly rotating the puck of pyrholidon in his gloved hand, admiring the deep purple color.

Summary
He likes Harry right away. Really likes him. He’s fun. He’s smart. He’s surprising. He’s sweet. He’s cool. Kim’s old enough to stop questioning why he likes who he likes. That there’s any feeling left in him is something to be grateful for.

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.”

It is dark. The sun had set hours ago, leaving only the bright end of the lieutenant’s cigarette in its wake. You finished your own smoke already, having sucked it down to the quick almost immediately.
HALF LIGHT: You do that to everything. Consume it, destroy it, leave nothing after.
VOLITION: Snap out of it.

Summary
Kim lifts his free arm a few inches, letting the gown fall in a big rectangular shape around his narrow frame. “I look like a child.”
He does, a little bit, until one looks at his face, set in a well-worn scowl.
“No, you look like you just had fucking surgery this morning. It’s just me and Harry. No need to put on airs. We can do dress-up tomorrow.”
Kim sighs, twining his arm around Jean’s and leaning into him. His other hand plucks idly at the drape of fabric around his stomach. “Fine.” He rests his head on Jean’s shoulder, warm and heavy.

Summary
“Alright, detective,” Kim says, as you pull up to a stop, with the voice of a man who has been waiting for an interruption. “What is it now?”
You blink, realizing your eyes have gone a little dry. It’s not a rare occurrence. “Your jacket is orange,” you say, looking away from the sleeve back up to his face. Eyes on the road.
“My jacket is orange,” he confirms.
You go quiet again, and Kim doesn’t react to this except with a split-second glance over at you, paired with the slightest twinge of amusement at the corner of his mouth. He knows you’re chasing a hunch, turning a thought over and over in your mind until its edges wear smooth. He thinks this is probably one of the frivolous ones, and he’s probably right.

There's something about Kim's jacket.

Summary
Hungry for companionship, Kim found an equally as lonely homo-sexual by the name of Thomas, living not too far from his humble little apartment in the GRIH. He too had a steady job, better paying than Kim’s, working not with the great big machines of the harbour that Kim held such fascination for but in coordinating hours and shipments. He liked Kim, but not too much, and never demanded what he couldn’t give. He had no eccentricities, no strange hobbies, and was perfectly acceptable company to discuss radio programs with, to introduce friends to with his sharp suit and perfectly honed small-talk, and occasionally went with Kim for dinner in which he reliably ordered steak and potatoes without horseradish. In short, he was perfect.
Two years later, Kim stood in the entryway of hostel in a miserable little town and watched in horrified fascination as a man in mustard-yellow trousers and the most hideous tie he’s ever seen staggered down the stairs, smelling of piss and spirits, and declared himself Raphael Ambrosius Costeau.After giving up on true love, Kim finds it again in an unlikely place -- all he has to do is let it in.

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.

Watching V get dressed had become some kind of weird morning ritual. But on this particular morning, V wasn't dressing in his usual array of glittering sneakers, golden jackets and skintight leggings - he was dressing like Johnny. And Johnny was pretty damn sure that was a bad sign.
