Kim Kitsuragi: The air outside is brisk, the lieutenant is silent for a moment. He listens to the traffic hum, then...

Kim Kitsuragi: "Your call, detective. Again, I only have *exactly* one every night." He blows a steady stream of smoke.
141
Shivers: Below, the city trembles with its remaining lights. People are rushing home, running away from home, smoking, sleeping, singing in the shower. Edges of dining tables, hands, aprons flicker through windows before the lights go out.
2->141
3
Endurance: Thank you for the compliment. We could manage it even in wooden clogs. There are uncanny running-reservoirs in this body -- god knows why...

Kim Kitsuragi: "The Moralist International are the world's largest political organization." He pulls on his cigarette. "You know who they are. They have been running this place after the Revolution failed."

Kim Kitsuragi: "Unfortunately, the body is still decomposing in the yard. We should take care of that as soon as possible."
"The rest is up to the boys in Processing. Maybe they will surprise us by doing their job for once, but I wouldn't count on it."
"We haven't gotten the body out of the yard yet, but at least it's been refrigerated."

Kim Kitsuragi: "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."
488
Kim Kitsuragi: "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.
27->488
28
Kim Kitsuragi: "Getting her to really talk to us took fantastic interpersonal skills and perseverance. Good work, detective."
352
Kim Kitsuragi: "Above all, though... today was exhausting. What's with all the *running*? You run a lot. Is that a standard Precinct 41 practice?"
28->352
29
Kim Kitsuragi: "No, we didn't. It's very important that we do it tomorrow latest." He breathes out. A billow of silver smoke.
29->352

Kim Kitsuragi: "What do they believe in? They are Dolorians. They *believe* they continue the humanist project set forth by Her Innocence Dolores Dei four centuries ago. Others say they're just technocrats."
518
Rhetoric: Those others say *they* continue the humanist project set forth by Dolores Dei.
30->518

You: Better not to ask.
375
Empathy: The lieutenant breathes out a chestnut-scented cloud of cigarette smoke and looks at the city he's sworn to guard.

Kim Kitsuragi: "We run this city. West of the river is RCM land." He looks at the dark silhouette of the equestrian monument cutting into the night sky.
33->377
34
Kim Kitsuragi: "It's *incredibly* hard. Human beings are..." He shakes his head. "But we are in control. And it's worth it. The organization works. Our systems work. If they didn't, this city would disintegrate."
303
Esprit de Corps: Night. Captain Ptolemy Pryce steps into the yard. A piebald horse waits by the motor carriage, chewing oats out of an oat-bag. Seagulls fly overhead. The sky is black. Captain Pryce wears a black suit and a standard patrol coat as he mounts the horse to head home...

36->382
156
Kim Kitsuragi: "It would have been even better if we had been able to examine the bullet... but what really worries me is that the body is still decomposing in the yard."
"The rest is up to the boys in Processing. Maybe they will surprise us by doing their job for once, but I wouldn't count on it."
"It would have been better if we could have pulled out the bullet and sent the body to Processing. But at least we got the body refrigerated."

39->387
306
Kim Kitsuragi: "We didn't talk to the Wild Pines rep. We really must do that tomorrow."
40->306
41
Kim Kitsuragi: "They're quite limited, actually -- the power officers of the Revachol Citizens Militia exercise most *frequently* is imposing fines of up to 1000 reál for offences, in accordance with an interdepartmental schedule."
279
You: "Okay. What else?" (Continue.)
41->279
331
You: "Wouldn't that be an easy power to... abuse?"
41->331
476
You: "A thousand? Why not more?"
41->476
42
Kim Kitsuragi: "You can't. Those who don't show up become fugitives though, and have fewer legal rights when they are eventually caught. It's about power projection. Thus far they seem to mostly show up."
185
Authority: When power calls you, you come. But power itself is a fragile trick of perception.

46
Empathy: Though you really dropped the ball on inspecting the body, he doesn't want you to feel too discouraged. Probably out of fear that you'll just give up and keep drinking...
100
You: "I'm sorry I couldn't do more today. I'm just not a very good cop, am I."
46->100
127
You: "I generally prefer to start with searching the scene and then move on to dealing with dead bodies."
46->127

You: "With the end being nigh, how can anyone expect me to focus on one corpse..."
46->189

Rhetoric: If Kim is emphasizing something this much, it really must be important. And dangerous. Very dangerous.
56->345

"I still feel like we missed something, but it's up to the boys in Processing now. We did perform a thorough search of the crime scene. That's great."
304
Kim Kitsuragi: "Now, as for interviews -- my list of people to talk to here in Martinaise, I mean..." He takes a deep drag and looks at the city.
63->304
64
Kim Kitsuragi: "Where shall we begin? We should talk about the investigation first and foremost, but I also remember you wanting to discuss the RCM?" He lights a cigarette.
64->115
65
Kim Kitsuragi: "We are permitted to use whatever force we deem necessary. Even lethal."
"As you may have gathered from the fact that we are expected to carry a record of our kills -- like the one in your watermarks -- we're permitted to use whatever force is necessary. And strongly admonished not to abuse that power."

75
Empathy: He is not particularly satisfied with your progress, but he doesn't want you to feel completely discouraged. Probably out of fear that you'll just give up and keep drinking...
75->74

You: "With the end being so *nigh*, how can anyone expect me to focus on one corpse?"
75->130

77
You: "Now that's a cool lady with a cool name."
77->56
78
Kim Kitsuragi: "Alright, but -- and, forgive me, this is just something I have to ask -- if you have shoes, then *why aren't you wearing them*?"
232

318
You: "It's part of my penance."
78->318
403
You: "I'm just that rugged."
78->403
79
Volition: Keeping the habit within the parameters he's given himself takes a lot of focus. It would be easier to simply quit.
142
Composure: Yet were he to quit, he would lose the cool factor. This man relishes his cool quite a bit -- below it all.

85
Kim Kitsuragi: "We don't convict. We arrest and send them to Coalition Government courts -- in Couron and La Delta. The prosecution works off our testimonies. And records -- which is why it's paramount to keep them." He taps on his coat pocket -- where he keep his notes.

Visual Calculus: An aerostatic passes overhead -- the whiskers of its floodlights on the ground below. Kitsuragi's glasses light up as he looks to the sky. Two glowing circles.

Shivers: The lights of the orphan district are reflected in his glasses: the red and golden orbs of the motorway sliding like pearls on a string, from East to West, as Revachol commutes back to the suburbs. Tomorrow is Tuesday. Monday is over.
