Summary
You - “What are you doing here, Kim?” Your fingers still twitch with the urge to reach out to him, but you control yourself, worried that he'll stumble if he tries to side-step you again. He seems awfully unsteady on his feet.
Kim Kitsuragi - “...I didn't know where else to go.”
___Kim tries Harry's old methods of coping with a hard case. It doesn't work. He ends up on Harry's doorstep in the middle of the night, drunk and emotional. It falls to Harry to take care of him for once. Also, there is only one bed in his apartment.

Summary
You - “Yes, I’m a bisexual.”
Volition [challenging: failure] - Huh, that feels weird to say. Not weird in the ‘untrue’ way, but weird in the ‘I’ve learned something new about myself after 44 years and this is the first time I’ve spoken it out loud’ kind of way. You didn’t just say ‘I might be a homosexual myself’, you actually stated it as a fact, using a term that, even though its correct, you only learned mere seconds ago. Where were you going with this conversation again?
___When Harry had invited Kim over for dinner, he hadn’t planned to have his coming out. Needless to say, things don’t exactly go smoothly.

Summary
You - “Please don’t die, Kim. I need you.” You whisper it into the quiet of the room, even though you know that he can’t hear you in his drug-induced slumber.
Conceptualization - Whispered in prayer to a goddess with glowing lungs.
Logic - You know this to be true. Kim’s arrival at Martinaise had been the change that pulled you out of the ever-deepening hole that had been your life. If you lose him, there will be nothing to keep you from sliding right back in.
___Kim gets injured on the job. Harry doesn't cope very well. Jean helps, in his own way.

Summary
Kim Kitsuragi - He pauses where he’d been settling into bed next to you, turning to look you in the eye. His reply is plain and simple. “Because I love you, Harry.”
You - It’s something he’s rarely said before, and you longed to hear it, yet right now the words feel like…
Conceptualization - A bandaid on an open wound.
Volition [godly: failure] - You do not understand. Why are you not better? This is what you wanted. Shouldn’t you be better with Kim by your side?
___After months of sobriety, Harry relapses. Jean and Kim are there to get him through.

Summary
You - “Can you not touch me right now?” The words sound harsher than you want them to, and you hate yourself for them. For pushing him away.
Kim Kitsuragi - “Okay.” He carefully, slowly, removes his hand from your body, like he's dealing with a wounded animal. “That’s okay. Whatever you want.”
Inland Empire - You don't want to be this type of animal anymore.
Empathy [formidable: success] - Being snapped at doesn't faze him. He's used to your moods being less predictable than the weather. You've always been good for a surprise, he thinks, which he's been very fond of, but now he thinks it a little bitterly.
___Harry is not doing well after a prior relapse. His relationship with Kim also suffers and they struggle find a way to keep going together.
