Summary
Years have passed since his escaping the unknown, but Wirt is still haunted by the beast. It whispers into his window at night, always there, always watching him. It tells him that it can't be killed. That it exists in all worlds. That it's a God and wants his beautiful soul to add to it's collection. But is it truly what it claims to be?

Summary
KIM KITSURAGI – "Well, there's nothing wrong with feeling nervous. Especially in our line of work."
CONCEPTUALIZATION [Trivial: Success] – It comes with the territory.
KIM KITSURAGI – A delicate pause. "And it's okay if you're having trouble coping with that."
"We all have our vices…"
SUGGESTION [Medium: Success] – Seems like he might've caught onto the fact that you're not entirely sober.
AUTHORITY [Trivial: Success] – Oh, don't let him *preach* to you.
YOU – "I'm not even drunk."
KIM KITSURAGI – Kim doesn't say a word, but you can *feel* him raise an unimpressed eyebrow in your direction.
YOU – "Okay," you immediately concede, "I'm drunk."
---
A couple of weeks after Martinaise, Kim calls Harry to check in on him. Harry has not been coping well with his reintroduction to reality.

Summary
Five things you learn living with Kim Kitsuragi, and one thing he learns living with you.
KIM KITSURAGI: He closes his eyes briefly, takes a breath, and opens them. He looks directly at you and says, “You can stay at my apartment.”
AUTHORITY: It’s not an offer. There’s no, if you want. It’s a command.
YOU: Your eyes water even further.
JEAN VICQUEMARE: He barks out a laugh. “Fuck,” he says. “Lieutenant, with all due respect…”
AUTHORITY: He trails off when Kim turns to look at him.
ENDURANCE: I don’t think you know what you’re getting into, Jean concludes in his head.
