    Summary

    Radios, recovery, and romance.

    Or, Harry starts listening to the radio. It gives him something to hold onto. (And maybe discovers the lost island of Atlantide while he’s at it.)

    Featuring: WEATHER FM, SAD FM, MIRRORBALL FM, and SPEEDFREAKS FM

     

    KIM KITSURAGI: “You know, when I was a child, I used to pretend I was flying an aerostatic through the pale and had discovered Atlantide. Mostly when I was trying to fall asleep.”

    ESPRIT DE CORPS: He still does. Nights he really can’t sleep, he soars low, skimming the city: its tall clear buildings sparkling in the sun, the river snaking through the plain. Far below, a man looks up at him, shading his eyes. A child waves at him. A dog chases his shadow, snapping at it, never catching it.

    Summary

    On devotion, religion, and love. Harry and Kim solve a case, watch movies, and go to church. Among other things.

    PERCEPTION: The stained glass behind the altar and to the right - lit with a thousand suns glimmering and shining -

    INLAND EMPIRE: It’s him.

    ESPRIT DE CORPS: He’s come for you.

    PERCEPTION: Lit from behind, from within, from all around, clothed in orange and light, his head bent down towards you - reaching out with one hand, the other behind his back -

    CONCEPTUALIZATION: Always holding himself back, always helpless but to reach out.

    PERCEPTION: His eyes blind with light, his lungs aglow, a halo, halo -

    CONCEPTUALIZATION: Saint Kim Kitsuragi.

    Summary

    You’re both extremely drunk the first time it happens.
    The same with the second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth times.

    YOU: Why does this keep happening?
    HALF LIGHT: Because it’s scary to do it sober.
    YOU: For Kim, too?
    COMPOSURE: Sure. But for different reasons. The lieutenant is tightly repressed. Imagine all that longing crammed into his 167 cm - 10 stone frame. It is unspeakable.
    CONCEPTUALIZATION: It’s tangled in there so tight he can’t even pull it out and go through it. It’s all just…there.
    YOU: Doesn’t that hurt?
    PAIN THRESHOLD: Immensely.

    Summary

    Kim realizes Harry’s afraid of touching and being touched. So Kim starts, very slowly, enacting his plan to make the detective more comfortable with being touched. He starts small. A hand on Harry’s shoulder when he’s done well, or when he needs to be bolstered. He leans into him to whisper confidentially into his ear. Once, the detective has mustard on his shirt, and Kim wets his handkerchief and dabs at it while the man stiffens and his face goes scarlet. He allows his hand to brush Harry’s when they play Suzerainty, handing off the die. But Harry doesn’t touch Kim. No, the detective keeps his hands to himself.

    And then in May Harry touches him of his own volition.
