    Summary

    CONCEPTUALIZATION - With the new brain, you should have got a new name, don't you think? What kind of name is Harrier?

    EMPATHY - It's the name of a deeply emotional person.

    ENCYCLOPEDIA - Actually, it's a wartime name. Revolutionary.

    PHYSICAL INSTRUMENT - The name of a warrior, then.

    AUTHORITY - The name of a leader.

    LOGIC - It's just what you were called after you woke up. A name. Nothing more. No need to romanticize it.

    SUGGESTION - I believe we like "Harry" better. It's soft. It fits in your mouth like it belongs there.

    HALF LIGHT - But Harrier knows things. He was in the crash. He might be all that's left of who you were.

    ______________________________

    After a car crash leaves Harry Du Bois with no memories, he’s sent to the Saint-Batiste Dolorian Orphanage. There, he meets Kim Kitsuragi, long before the events of Martinaise.

    Summary

    YOU – “I didn’t know you liked candy, Kim.”

    KIM - He blinks, a little surprised you noticed.

    EMPATHY [Challenging: Success] - He didn’t *want* you to notice. That’s why he popped it in while you were in the bathroom.

    KIM - He clears his throat. “Khm. I heard it helps with the cravings. To have something else to do with your mouth.”

    ELECTROCHEMISTRY [Medium: Success] – Oh, you can think of something for him to do with his mouth.

     

    It's been three weeks since the case in Martinaise, and Harry is struggling to stay sober. Kim offers to give up smoking to help, but it's hard for both of them; luckily, they have each other's company.

    Summary

    CONCEPTUALIZATION [Heroic : Success] - There is divinity etched into every line of his face, every rustle of his bomber jacket as he moves, the rising and falling of his chest. Anything holy will take his shape. You know this as you know how to blink and breathe.

    PHYSICAL INSTRUMENT [Easy : Success] - You have no place next to him. You can feel it down to the marrow of your bones. He is Innocent, capital I, in all senses of the word. You are a great, unstable, hulking mass of meat and bad choices.

    Harry dreams of the life of the Innocence Perikarnassian — a half-Seolite orphan with a fascination for flying, the makings of a nicotine addiction, and more light inside him than the world can store. What follows is a confession, a beginning, and an epiphany about deserving.

    Summary

    Harry was many things - Detective, depressed drunkard, speedrunner of the entire political spectrum, but a teacher?

    RHETORIC – Yeah, this doesn’t work, he already was a teacher in the lore. Try something more original.

    Okay, how about ‘EX COMMUNIST-FASCIST-ULTRALIBERAL SORRY FAILURE OF A DETECTIVE FUCKS AROUND IN ANIME SLICE OF LIFE STORY’?

    RHETORIC – Sure, better to sound unhinged than unoriginal. It’s not like we know any better ways to write summaries.

    Summary

    He wakes up in a hotel room with no memory of who he is, why he’s here, or what he’s meant to be doing. All he’s got is an empty wallet, twenty-something voices arguing in his head, and a woman called Pru who insists she can help him get his memories back if he trusts her.

    This is so not disco.

    (Or: Tim gets amnesia during BruceQuest, and goes on the worst backpacking trip through Europe in history. Featuring Tim as Harry Du Bois, and Pru as the world's most reluctant Kim Kitsuragi.)

    Summary

    YOU - Oh, secrets! What does it say?

    VISUAL CALCULUS [legendary:success] - Written on the page in lieutenant's hasty handwriting, tucked away from prying eyes, a secret wish; voicing the possibility of asking you to fill his desires in the bedroom. The sentences have been scribbled over in shame, leaving any further details indecipherable.

    ELECTROCHEMISTRY - Well well well…

    YOU - Wait, these are sex secrets?!

    ____________________

    Kim wants to learn more about the inner workings of Harry's mind and agrees to be can-opened.

    But Harry ends up accidentally digging out some hidden opinions Kim has about his ... rather robust ... body shape.

    And then they fuck, yay.

    Summary

    Waiting for the garage doors to lift up, Bucciarati begins anew. “There’s something I need you to do. I would’ve done it myself but I can feel that I’m in no state to be certain of my own survival, and would not find a navigator I’d trust in the short time given to me— I wish I could tell you earlier, truly, but I can’t pick up work calls at…work...” he stumbles, “and this is as much of a heads-up as I could give you.”
    “For what?” Giorno urges him to get to the point.
    “I need you to complete a race.”
    “A race?
    Actually, no, he needs more elaboration.

    Every five years, Passioné hosts a long, dangerous and high stakes race through the Napoli area. When Polpo's chosen rider turns up all but dead a few hours before it starts, the man seeks a substitution.

    Or, Giorno and his no good, very bad, absolutely terrible evening; lovingly referred to as Part 5.5

    Summary

    Harry wakes up knowing absolutely nothing about himself. Including the fact that he is trans.
    He meets his partner and is immediately rather smitten with him. He soon finds out he's not like the other boys and it definitely hurts something inside of him.
    ----
    The full story takes place a few months after the game ends. Kim is Harry's full time partner. They're on a case about a serial killer who targets homo-sexual men. This puts them in a situation where they have to go undercover at the local underground gay bar. Being in this environment brings up different feelings between the two. Maybe some they do not want to think about.
    Jean is unable to handle the fact Harry is now Harry. He'd loved the girl he'd first met when he joined the precinct. He hates Harry for taking her from him but part of him still sees her in him. He's trying to be better. But he just can't bring himself to admit he likes a man.

    Let's try something different: This is what happens at the Whirling on the day of the Mercenary Tribunal, between the moment Klaasje leaves Martinaise and the Esprit de Corps check you get in Ruby's hideout of Jean & Judit leaving. Since Harry isn't present for this, there are no skill voices (except that one time...)
