Rhetoric: Absolute rubbish. Your politico-olfactory cortex doesn't deceive you. The smell is coming... from that balcony over there!

You: "I'm working on developing my political consciousness."

You: "Yes."

Kim Kitsuragi: "Well, I'll be over here when you've finished." The lieutenant nudges a piece of trash with his foot.

63
You: You mean from that scary-looking girl in the old lady coat?
9->63
10
You: "No."
49
Kim Kitsuragi: "Uh huh."
10->49
11
Perception (Smell): The first thing that strikes you is the overwhelming brine. You imagine yourself underwater, a hundred-legged arthropod scuttling along the murky silt at the bottom of the sea...

Rhetoric: Without a doubt. Your politico-olfactory cortex doesn't deceive you. The smell is coming... from that balcony over there!

Kim Kitsuragi: "There's a lot to take in, isn't there?" The lieutenant wrinkles his nose.

Kim Kitsuragi: "You know what? I'll just leave you to it. Carry on, detective."
60
Rhetoric: The lieutenant lacks your highly developed politico-olfactory cortex. The smell is undeniable. And it's coming... from that balcony up there!

Kim Kitsuragi: "I'm struggling to see the connection with our investigation, but I'm sure *all will be revealed* in time."
20->25
21
Kim Kitsuragi: "Still smelling for communists, detective?"
21->5
21->10
61
You: "What makes you say that?"
21->61
22
Perception (Smell): It smells like a pier, in other words. A completely ordinary pier, that provokes no ideological associations whatsoever.
22->2
78
Rhetoric: Certainement! A precocious communist youth, a symbol of a kinder, more hopeful future. Now's your chance to *establish contact* with your revolutionary brothers and sisters.
23->78
24->12
25->60
26
You: (Close your eyes and take a deep breath.)
47
Rhetoric: What do you smell?
26->47
27
You: Are you saying there's a communist nearby?
27->12
28
Perception (Smell): But then the unmistakable reek of *seagull shit* hits you, buoyed along on the air currents, an acrid melody atop mouldering chords of wood rot and heavy fuel oil.

Kim Kitsuragi: "Everything in order, detective?" The lieutenant gives you a quizzical look.
29->3
36
You: "It's kind of a personal errand."
29->36
48
You: "I'm smelling for communists, Kim."
29->48

You: "Just taking in the fresh air, like a normal detective."
"Just taking in the morning air, like a normal detective."
"Just taking in the afternoon air, like a normal detective."
"Just taking in the evening air, like a normal detective."
"Just taking in the night air, like a normal detective."

33
Rhetoric: Years of turmoil, of hopes and dreams ground beneath the inexorable tides of capital.
33->4
45
You: I *still* don't smell anything.
33->45
80
You: (Close your eyes and take a deep breath.)
33->80
34
You: Smell what?
38
Rhetoric: Can you not detect that inimitable whiff of dissatisfaction and restlessness, that sense that the world is in need of dramatic, even violent re-ordering?
34->38
35
Inland Empire: A chance to establish contact with the future! What a beautiful, *terrible* thought...
36->30
37
Kim Kitsuragi: "You do remember that we're investigating a *murder*, yes? I would appreciate it if you reserved your political projects for after-hours."
37->60
38->26
38->27
39
Savoir Faire: The lieutenant's right. It's sort of amazing how *un-subtly* you're sniffing the air around you, almost like you're *trying* to call attention to yourself.
62
Rhetoric: What the lieutenant thinks is irrelevant. Your politico-olfactory cortex is lighting up like a holiday display. The scent of communism is overwhelming, and it's coming right... from that balcony over there!
39->62
40->34
41
You: I don't smell anything.

Esprit de Corps: His impatience is feigned. He's actually curious to see how this *personal errand* shakes out.
56->73
71
Esprit de Corps: He'll tolerate this *personal errand*, but his patience is wearing thin.
57->71
58
Perception (Smell): Nothing. Or at least, nothing in particular. As far as you're concerned, your nose seems to be purely decorative.
