Summary
During the case in Martinaise, Kim can watch Harry bloom into one of many different men. But no matter what forms out there on the sea ice, no matter if Kim trusts that animal or not—still, he can develop fascination, desire.
This is the story about the Kim who would get into the aerostatic with Icebreaker Harry and ride into the sunset as the world burns below. A Kim enchanted by war, by death, by the fictions he's told about himself, and by men like Harry—weak, closeted 'traditionalists' he can use for his own desires.
This story is also very much a "mind the tags" situation. No one is a winner in this story, not even the ghosts.

Summary
The guy who showed up before service was some young guy in his early twenties, a gym rat with neatly coiffed blond hair.
“Does an Italian DILF work here?” He motioned above Carmy’s hand with a flat hand. “Yea high, super blue eyes?”
It took Carmy embarrassingly long to catch up. He just frowned, chugging until— Christ, he meant Richie. Carmy said the first thing that came to mind.
“He’s Polish.”
