Summary
God fuck. You *can’t.* You have to go. Out of the desolation seeping through stained floors, deep dark gunmetal aura crawling from under the bedroom door. In the bathroom cabinet, tiny pale bullets packaged for oral consumption. Out the window, a lethal drop from the balcony to the damp pavement. Leave this place before it swallows you.
You flee with nothing but the clothes on your back: a refugee of the uncaring sky, swirling and silent and of distant astral stone.

Summary
Kim gazes at the madman before him for a moment— a man who almost broke his body trying to save a ship full of people, who had pressed his mind into the hands of a stranger with total and complete trust, and who also just thoughtlessly offered a handshake to a Vulcan (one-quarter, but still) — and thinks ah, fuck it.

Summary
PERCEPTION (SIGHT) [Trivial: Success] - One last thing you’ve missed.
YOU - What is it?
KIM KITSURAGI - Kim sits at the stern, one hand on the engine. Gloved fingers splayed out and relaxed, tensing only when he tilts the motor lightly to steer. His gaze is fixed just past your right knee, on the waves ahead. He’s fixated on navigating the ice floes, steady and collected as ever.
CONCEPTUALIZATION [Medium: Success] - Once all this is over, he will always be the thing you miss.
