Summary
Most people are elastic. With little push and pull they stretch. They do as they're willed then bounce back. This flexibility grants them second chances. Like letting yourself fall when you slip down a mountainside: if you don't resist you won't be hurt as badly.
You are rubber. Firm and strong. You know exactly who you are. You insulate. You do not bend to the whims of others. You are rigid. One day you will break.
He is other. Something else. He is something that cannot be defined in simple, man-made, terms. He is esoteric and fluid. He is both the insects you feel in the hairs on your legs, after bad night terrors, and the arms holding you as your shaking stops. He will be what breaks you.
Let it be in a way that renders you flexible.

Summary
"May 23, 51' 22:36
There is a kind of sadness that pervades the hearts and minds of every Revacholian, a kind of unspoken loneliness that lingers through the iron-tinged marine layer and emanates from the smokestacks, a looming threat that echoes off the cloud layer.
Often it sounds of aerostatic blades and looks of search lights dancing over rooftops, and so, Kim can't sleep, too stuck on thinking about the quietness of Martinaise.
Of Harry."
Kim Kitsuragi works his first case with Harry since Martinase. Journaling his descent into madness as he moves closer to becoming a full fledged member of the 41st and falls further and further into Harrys orbit.

Summary
In the beginning you dream about a shard of light, illuminating the path ahead of you. It wavers; sometimes it’s unbearably bright and warm, other times it struggles. It takes you longer than you would like to admit to realise that it always relates to him. When he has a good day, your dreams are steeped in gold. When he flirts along the edges of relapse, the light isn’t quite there, like a faltering lightbulb on the brink of burning out. He stumbles in the waking hours and you stumble in the dark.
Little by little he is becoming something in your rote routine, breaking it apart in a way you aren’t quite prepared for. You’re frustrated by it, by how quickly he had such a hold on you. You’ve never needed another soul in your life.
You’re beginning to need him.
