Summary
It’s Harry’s first payday after Martinaise. What’s a man to do but get drunk, buy a radio, and walk to see Kim?
KIM KITSURAGI: “Detective, how do you know where I live?”
YOU: “The city told me.”
KIM KITSURAGI: “La Revacholiere?”
YOU: “She loves you, Kim.”
KIM KITSURAGI: He blinks. The tips of his ears flush red.
EMPATHY: She’s not the only one, brother.
YOU: What’s that supposed to mean?
RHETORIC: Nothing, chief.
SAVOIR FAIRE: Don’t worry your pretty little head about it.

Harry's first paycheck and the first thing he does is drink in moderation (not spending it all hooray!!), buys a new alarm clock for his work, and walks 19km in the cold on a bad leg to Kim's place <3
Kim celebrating his transfer silently w a cigarette + glass of wine in the tub, Kim staying w Harry so he does not drown in the tub, then doing the crossword while Harry sleeps on his couch

Summary
You come down the next morning to the fishing shack in the village to find the detective bathing in the sea.
“Detective,” you say. “I’m pleased to note you availing yourself of the facilities.”
“Kim, it’s fucking freezing,” he says, seriously. His hair hangs wet and limp, darker like this, and his chops draggle down his face. He looks like a half-drowned dog you had once seen Eyes pull out of L’Esperance.
You’ve got to let him use your shower, you decide.Set in Martinaise.

Harry showering in the ocean + the Whirling-in-Rags, Kim trying out variations of Harry's name to make it feel like his again, "cy-bot" at kim, the lost dog AND the runover dog, penance

Summary
Kim calls Harry when he’s drinking.
Most of the time, you call him sober, late at night after looking over your case notes out on your balcony, smoking a cigarette and staring down into the dark courtyard. “Kim,” he’ll say, voice deep in your ear. Often, the radio in the background of his apartment, always playing something different, as he rediscovers his tapes. Disco and rock and jazz and, once - which you ask him to turn down - Iilmaran throat-singing. Or, you will call him when you listen to WEATHER FM at night and find the weather will be bad the following day. You tell him, on these calls, that you will pick him up in the morning. Often, when you do, you find he has gone down to the corner kiosk and picked you up a newspaper, or gotten the two of you pastries, and he will be drenched, which defeats the purpose of picking him up. You tell him this, and he just winks at you.

Summary
KIM’S COUCH: Kim’s couch fucking hates you.
PAIN THRESHOLD: This is more than just uncomfortable. I think this thing is actually trying to kill you.
KIM’S COUCH: If I was trying to kill you, punk, you’d fucking know. Loose spring to the spleen, sudden frame collapse, maybe even - who knows - a slowly subsiding fall of cushions, suffocating you in the night. This? This is just a test of will, to see if you’re man enough for Kim. Which you aren’t, by the way.

Summary
“See?” Harry beams, smugly. "The city-”
“Loves me, yes,” sighs Kim. And yet - the idea does not trouble him as much as it should.Kim talks to Mademoiselle Revacholière, too. He just does it on the road.
