Damn way to read the assignment and go above and beyond.

the bleakness and sanitized feel of most American protestant churches really is an underused medium.

When I first got to the whistle scene I thought "how cute, Kim sits on the swing facing Harry ready to comfort him :)" but I've since realised that's not cute okay the sadistic little fuck wants to witness all the life drain from Harry's eyes, he wants to be able to pin point the exact moment Harry's soul escapes him and engrain it in his memory when Harry realises how badly he's fucked up

There's so much care from Kim in this scene that I genuinely can't parse this interpretation I'm sorry.

187.KIM KITSURAGI - The lieutenant gives you a quick glance. Then, still looking straight ahead, he joins you with a higher-pitched and slightly more melodic trill.  HealVolition(1); ReputationGrows("kim"); XPTinySetBool("XP.kim_joins_you_in_whispering_the_seaside_tune")--[[ Variable[ ]]  [Og] *79.CONCEPTUALIZATION - Two birds on a wire, whistling by the seaside. Looking at the water. And a sunken car.  passive check (requires approx. 4 in Conceptualization)ALT

He joins in with the whistling! He lets his composure slip for a moment to keep Harry company! Two birds on a wire!

 *54.YOU - "They're not gonna take me back after this, are they?"  [Og] *268.KIM KITSURAGI - "People are more valuable than machines." He's trying to cheer you up now. "Training a police officer is even more costly."ALT

Trying to cheer Harry up! People are more valuable than machines! That's a really important line in the context of the rest of the game, with Harry trying to make himself into a case-solving machine and ignoring the harm it's doing to his body and his community!

YOU - "Things were going so well, we were just talking about our mums..."  Variable["village.sunken_whisper_rc_success"] == false and Variable["village.i_miss_my_mum"] == true and Variable["village.sunken_suprised_peoples_skin_colour_varies_so_drastically"] == false  [Og] *361.KIM KITSURAGI - "We can still do that," the lieutenant says with a smile. "Besides, the night is always darkest before the dawn."ALT
YOU - "Things were going so well, we were just whistling merrily..."  Variable["village.sunken_whisper_rc_success"] == true and Variable["village.i_miss_my_mum"] == false and Variable["village.sunken_suprised_peoples_skin_colour_varies_so_drastically"] == false  [Og] *84.KIM KITSURAGI - "You can still whistle," the lieutenant says with a smile. "Besides, the night is always darkest before the dawn."ALT

It's always darkest before the dawn! No matter what topic Harry tries to talk about, Kim still says something painfully hopeful at the end.

.KIM KITSURAGI - "At least we have a pretty good suspect. If we found your motor carriage in the sea, maybe we'll find her too."  [Og] *365.ENDURANCE - Something about his notion gives you strength. Makes you realize this isn't the end of the road yet.  passive check (requires approx. 5 in Endurance)  HealVolition(1)ALT

Harry can literally heal morale from Kim's attempts to cheer him up. This scene imo is a really good example of Kim's inherent kindness that is constantly at risk of being strangled out of him by the RCM (just like when he offers Acele his special jacket because she looks cold!). The humanity and connection, even if he doesn't get exactly what Harry is going through and even though it's getting in the way of the investigation. Just sitting with Harry and helping him come to terms with it all. Two birds on a wire, you know?

good shit

at this point I wish advertising in general was just literally illegal. Word of mouth only. Maybe exceptions beneath a certain net value like if you’re a startup or a family run business but if you’re already making a billion dollars then making even one single commercial or banner campaign should be a crime and I mean a crime like the CEO gets investigated on national television and goes to prison forever and everyone agrees they’re a sick fucked up maniac
