    Summary

    Harry loves Kim's apartment. It's perfect.

    Except there's only one shower.

    Kim’s showers are efficient, usually five minutes or less, except -

    VISUAL CALCULUS: Except sometimes they’re not.

    ELECTROCHEMISTRY: You know what he’s doing in there!

    INLAND EMPIRE: You do.

     

    PHYSICAL INSTRUMENT: You’re both men, are you not? Men in your early forties, but that’s nothing - and twice a week, Kim takes longer than usual in the shower.

    CONCEPTUALIZATION: Fifteen minutes. Usually in the mornings, before you drag yourself off your couch.

    DRAMA: He likes the plausible deniability. You’re not up yet, he doesn’t have to feel guilty.

    INLAND EMPIRE: Sometimes, though, he does it at night. One night - the dog days of summer, he can’t sleep, no one in the entire city is sleeping, if the irritability of the precinct, the circles under everyone’s eyes, and the crime rate is to be believed - he gets up and goes into the bathroom. You’re almost asleep, drifting, but wake to Kim’s bare feet padding through from bedroom to bathroom.

    PERCEPTION: You hear the groan of pipes, the sound of water hitting the tub. The pull of the shower curtain.

    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

    Once is nice, two is coincidence. But three times?

    It’s a pattern. And Harry is very, very good at seeing patterns.

     

    Harry returns to the site of The Collapsed Tenement, and takes a trip to the precinct locker room showers with Kim.

    SHIVERS: Love can save you. It could have kept this man from this building. It kept you alive once - twice - a dozen times.

    Summary

    Five times Harry and Kim listen to music, and one time they don’t.

    KIM KITSURAGI: “What does La Revacholiere know about dancing?”

    FUNK FM: A brief crackle of static on the radio, then the brief millisecond of pure silence that indicates Pale cross-chatter. Then, the antiquated accent of a century ago. “I simply *must* do it, I’m crazy for it.”

    YOU: “She boogies, Kim.”
