    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

    You’ve been having strange dreams. Awful dreams, dreams in which Kim dies, every night. You think someone’s trying to tell you something…

    SHIVERS: They are.

    Excerpt:
    KIM KITSURAGI: “Harry. You were - making noise.”

    INLAND EMPIRE: Moaning. Crying out.

    KIM KITSURAGI: In the dark - the only light the streetlight and the neon glow from the Frittte cast in through the window - he looks unreal.

    CONCEPTUALIZATION: Ghostly.

    HALF LIGHT: His eyes. You can’t see his eyes.

    INTERFACING: You have to land a hand on his knee, to see if he’s real.

    KIM KITSURAGI: He’s warm with sleep. He makes a surprised noise, but doesn’t pull away.

    Summary

    Lieutenant Kim Kitsuragi got into an accident the first day he arrived in Martinaise, fell into a coma for two more days, and then woke up without remembering a goddamn thing. Not ideal to say the least, especially when you have to solve a lynching with a man as obnoxious as Harry Du Bois.

    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

    HALF-LIGHT: A thought occurs to you.
    VOLITION: Don't say it. Please. You don't have to say everything that comes into your head.
    You: "Kim," you say, your voice plaintive. "Am I a criminal? Did I do a crime in the last twenty-four hours? Is that why the RCM are sniffing around a high school gym?"

    Following a minor concussion, 28-year-old gym teacher Harry Du Bois finds himself missing the last 24 hours of his memory. He teams up with Patrol Officer Kim Kitsuragi from the Juvenile Crime Division to solve the case of his missing memories, a minor theft, and a first degree murder. Both of them get a whole lot more than they bargained for.
