Summary
There's this movie that Harry used to love. It's about an undercover agent that realizes he loves both sides of his double-life. You hate it because it's politically and morally incongruent, he loves it because everyone gets a happy ending. You don't believe in happy endings, they're not realistic.
You have a decision to make, two choices lay ahead of you. Jean or Vicky. Normal or happy. Safe or dead. You know what choice your heart desires, and you know what choice is the most logical. What kind of suffering would you prefer? Pick your poison.
Her life is in your hands. It's a delicate thing, it's beautiful, it's pure. Society will tear her limb from limb. If you destroy her first, she will never have to know that pain. It's an act of mercy, it's the right thing to do.
So why can't you do it..?

Summary
The crypt yawns open in front of him, wide and gaping. A maw into the depths of the earth that threatens to swallow him whole, if he would only let it. Avid stares at it, down the throat to hell, and it stares right back at him, mocking with its gap-toothed smile, leering at him from the ragged hillside.
Only yesterday he'd bounded into that place with a reckless abandon he can no longer summon, lost laughter bubbling in his chest. A high that had buoyed him along and kept him firmly on the top of the world.
He sits at the bottom of the world now, shoes scraping through the gravedirt underfoot as he scuffs his way along, firmly grounded and left to rot as others take to the skies on skin-thin wings.

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.

I don't even know, art cop thinking about the implications of the words 'instrument' in regard to his body as well as realizing he wants Kim to thrash him.
Set after the part in the doomed commercial area where Harry succeeds the Physical Instrument check to lift the barbell.

Really incredible use of formatting! Mimics Disco Elysium in a way that is still very easy to read and follow. Engaging dialogue and compelling scene. This one feels right out of the game.

Summary
In which Lieutenant Double Yefreitor Harrier Du Bois steals Judit's pens, RUINS IT ALL (citation needed), makes a few calls, and receives some sorely needed assistance. Oh, and also Jean gets mad again- though perhaps not quite in the way one would expect, given the circumstances. So I guess that's new?
