    Summary

    Three-and-one-third bodies have been found in an abandoned vehicle on the riverbank.

    It would be a challenging case even without the bad weather, weapons smuggling, white nationalists, industrial accidents, and the concept of pedigree dog breeds—but over it all hangs one troubling question: What is it that fascinates you about Kim Kitsuragi? Is it working class camaraderie? A sinister hex of mysterious origin? Did you imprint on him in Martinaise, like an amnesiac duckling? If you don’t figure out what’s going on soon, people are going to start to notice. Especially him.

    And sooner or later? Everything is related to the case.

    Summary

    “Why is everything you do so damn cool?” you blurt out, then wish you hadn’t.

    Kim smiles. Without hesitation, he begins to tug off the second glove, eyes on you, warm and knowing, though you aren’t entirely sure what it is he knows.

    Summary

    When they break—when Kim breaks—it's almost embarrassing why. It's just—Harry shows up to the precinct in bright red gym shorts, a white tanktop, a striped black and orange tie, and, for some reason, black boiadeiro boots.

    It's a hot summer in Revachol, and Kim can't take it anymore.

    Summary

    PECEPTION (SIGHT) [Easy: Success] - Ahead of you, Kim is stretching. The lean muscles of his bare shoulders shift as he bends down in a toe-touch before you start. His control over his body is unmatched. He straightens, adjusting his glasses, and starts running.

    PHYSICAL INSTRUMENT [Medium: Success] - He’s been holding out on us. This is a man with a fine physique.

    ELECTROCHEMISTRY - Maybe this wasn’t a mistake after all?

    Summary

    KIM KITSURAGI — He takes one step past the threshold, staring down at something in his hands, and then he looks up and startles. “Harry?”

    RHETORIC [Medium: Failure] — Your name tastes sweet in his mouth—even when it’s shocked out of him. You open your mouth to make an excuse—any excuse—and then actually get a good look at Kim.

    ELECTROCHEMISTRY [Heroic: Failure] — He’s wearing leather. So much leather? Everywhere? You have no idea where to look. 

    ENCYCLOPEDIA [Challenging: Success] — It’s not quite a full biker suit, but it looks styled after one. The jacket is a little too big in length but snug on his shoulders and wrists, with padded elbows and a flared collar. 

    DRAMA [Formidable: Success] — He’s wearing tight leather pants. You manage to *not* stare at his crotch too much. 

    PERCEPTION (SIGHT) [Easy: Success] — The thing he was holding is a motorcycle helmet. He’s wearing biking gloves, too—big and cushioned. Kim owns a *bike*.

    KIM KITSURAGI — “Detective, is there a reason you’re standing outside of my house at eleven P.M. on a Saturday?”
