    Summary

    INLAND EMPIRE: He falls asleep sometimes with your hand wrapped around his, clutched to his chest. You like it because you can feel him breathing. Sometimes when you’ve had a loud day he has you sit between his legs on the floor while he sits on the couch and pushes his fingers through your soft hair, massages all the chaos out of your head until you’re groaning and letting the full weight of your overfull skull rest on his thigh. Runs his fingers through your mutton chops until you’re full to bursting with satisfaction.

    INTERFACING: His hands are clever. They take you apart and put you back together like one of his machines. They smell of the polish he uses on the leather of his gloves, beeswax and eucalyptus. They’re beautiful, too.

    Summary

    You blink. “So you’ve been staying here, nine hours daily, not a bit of nicotine in you?”

    “I make up for it by smoking like a chimney right after.” He shrugs. “Besides, you’re a good influence. What can I say, lieutenant?”

    “My home isn’t a rehab centre.” The smile tugging at the corners of your mouth bleeds into your speech. “I’m tempting you now. Lucky for you, you can always bum one off me.”

    Summary

    "Harry likes his apartment now, if only because he has filled it with the presence of people he loves, with new objects and memories to cover up the old. Late take-out dinners with Kim while working a case. Suzerainty nights with Kim, Trant and Judit in April, adding a reluctant Jean to the mix in May. Sharing cigarettes with Jean at the window. Kim, bright-eyed as he talks about his Kineema, loose-tongued from the wine they shared. Jean, walking around the apartment with a faraway gaze, sharing memories of Harry’s furniture and trying to hide his disappointment when Harry can't remember, his hope when Harry does."

    It is the summer of '51, and between sunshine and bullet wounds, Jean, Kim and Harry grow closer with careful touches and smiles, shared cigarettes and case files. But affection is a fragile thing between lonely men...

    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.
