Conversation · Kim Kitsuragi

"Alright, but -- and, forgive me, this has been bothering me since this morning -- how have you managed to run around all day wearing no shoes?"

"I'm just that rugged."

"Well, there seems to be at least one shoe further down the balcony." He points with his cigarette. "Perhaps you can collect it when we're done talking."

"I really don't know. The investigation just seemed more important than looking for footwear."

"It's part of my penance."

"Alright, but -- and, forgive me, this is just something I have to ask -- if you have shoes, then why aren't you wearing them?"

"It's a fashion thing. They're not bad enough for this stud."

"Suit yourself." The lieutenant knocks some ash from his cigarette. "But you should probably consider wearing them anyway."

"It's part of my penance."

"I'm just that rugged."

"I don't like to waste time, you know. My mind moves fast -- the rest has to try to keep up."

"Yes. It's part of the Jamrock shuffle."

"Yeah, that's just how we roll in Precinct 41."

"I'm training for a long-distance run. I want to raise money for charity."

"We tried to interview the Wild Pines rep, but she asked us to do something for her first -- but fine," he shrugs. "So be it."

"We learned some interesting things along the way. We have to get Joyce to talk to us. I have a feeling she knows how dangerous the situation really is. But we also have to be careful about what we share with her."

If Kim is emphasizing something this much, it really must be important.

"We tried to interview the Wild Pines rep, but she asked us to do something for her first. Fine. So be it."

"I have a feeling Joyce knows how dangerous the situation really is. We have to get her to talk to us." He purses his lips.

"We talked to Joyce Messier, but didn't get any information from her." He frowns. "I have a feeling Joyce knows how dangerous the situation really is. We have to get her to talk to us."

"We didn't talk to the Wild Pines rep. We really must do that tomorrow."

"I'm glad to have a lead on my gun, but I don't know how I feel about my name."

"That's normal. It's best not to give it too much thought."

Kim must have had doubts about his name at some point too, but deliberately discarded them.

It's none of your business. Let it go.

"Have you ever wanted to change your name, Kim?"

"Change? No, not exactly. But I think all of us at some point imagine what our lives might have been had we been something else."

"And then we feel trapped by the names we've been given, as symbols of the intentions and expectations of others..." He pulls a long, pensive drag.

"Even if I were to change my name now, upon hearing any syllable that sounds like kim in the street, I'd turn to see who was calling me."

"But let's talk about Joyce Messier for a moment."

"Now that's a cool lady with a cool name."

"I have a feeling that she knows how dangerous the situation really is. We have to get her to talk to us." He frowns.

If Kim is emphasizing something this much, it really must be important. And dangerous. Very dangerous.

"We interviewed her and learned a lot."

"Getting her to really talk to us took fantastic interpersonal skills and perseverance. Good work, detective."

"I don't like her name. Or her, for that matter."

"We tried to interview her, but she asked us to do something for her first. Boy, did we find some bombshells along the way."

"Indeed." He pauses. "We have to get Messier to talk to us. I have a feeling she knows how dangerous the situation really is. But we also have to be careful about what we share with her."

"We tried to interview her, but she asked us to do something for her first."

"I have a feeling Joyce knows how dangerous the situation really is. We have to get her to talk to us." He purses his lips.

"We talked to her, but didn't learn much..."

"But let's move on to the Wild Pines rep."

"We didn't get to that interview..."

"No, we didn't. It's very important that we do it tomorrow latest." He breathes out. A billow of silver smoke.

"I kind of miss being adrift, though -- nameless, gunless..."

"Although I see the appeal, being thus adrift interferes with performing one's duties. Moving on..."

"I can't wait to get my gun back. I'll use that thieving Pigs for target practice, of course..."

"I would advise against that, officer. Moving on..."

"Big relief. It's a very serviceable name, too."

"Moving on..."

"I don't know how I feel about my name, actually."

"I want a different name. One I haven't ruined yet."

"You can look into the process of changing your name after we finish this investigation."

"You really got him talking, and now we know a lot about local politics, including Claire's drug trade, and also have some viable suspects."

"You really got him talking, and now we know a lot about the union, and also have some viable suspects."

"You got him to talk to you about both the Union and the murder, so we're definitely making progress there."

"You got him to talk to you about the Union, but he wouldn't talk to you about the murder without having you do a favour for him first."

"You got him to talk to you about the Union and even his drug trade, but he wouldn't talk to you about the murder without having you do a favour for him first."

"You got him to talk to you about the Union and even his drug trade, but he wouldn't talk to you about the murder."

He's not saying much on the matter because he thinks you could have gotten more out of Evrart.
