    Summary

    '“Uh, hi. Martin, right?” Harry asked. He looked nervous, but excited, like an overeager schoolboy. “I mean, I know that’s not your real name. Do you have a real name?”

    “Yes,” said the Smoker. An enigmatic smile played across his full, pouty lips.

    “Oh!” Harry perked up considerably. “Will you tell me what it is?”

    “No,” said the Smoker. His smile now teetered dangerously toward genuine.'

    ~~~

    Harry decides that in order to reach a definitive conclusion on his latest thought project, he needs to *experiment*. Luckily, Martinaise's very own Smoker on the Balcony is up for the challenge.

    Kim feels absolutely nothing about this turn of events.

    Summary

    KIM KITSURAGI - “I slept poorly.” He holds your gaze, as if challenging you to continue. “A common professional hazard.”

    DRAMA [Medium: Success] - Not a lie, precisely, but he is without a doubt *withholding* something from you.

    ELECTROCHEMISTRY - A little treat, in his palm. If you do the right trick, maybe he’ll dispense it.

    KIM KITSURAGI - He seems pleased with your obvious disappointment. “I’m afraid I’m not an interesting man, detective.”

    TASK GAINED:
    Find out what Kim does after hours

    Summary

    Most people are elastic. With little push and pull they stretch. They do as they're willed then bounce back. This flexibility grants them second chances. Like letting yourself fall when you slip down a mountainside: if you don't resist you won't be hurt as badly.

    You are rubber. Firm and strong. You know exactly who you are. You insulate. You do not bend to the whims of others. You are rigid. One day you will break.

    He is other. Something else. He is something that cannot be defined in simple, man-made, terms. He is esoteric and fluid. He is both the insects you feel in the hairs on your legs, after bad night terrors, and the arms holding you as your shaking stops. He will be what breaks you.

    Let it be in a way that renders you flexible.
