Summary
“Is this your question?” Kim says flatly, “Quid pro quo.”
Harry laughs outright. It isn’t a happy or pleasant sound. “No, it’s not. Hmm…” He taps his chin, listening for silent whispers again. The only thing Kim hears is a man three cells down groaning and the tapping of his own boot. “I know! Tell me, Kim, what did it sound like?”
“And by it, you mean…?”
“What did it sound like when your partner bled out?” Kim stops breathing. “When you had to listen to him drown from the blood in his lungs, what was that like—”

Summary
Kim realizes Harry’s afraid of touching and being touched. So Kim starts, very slowly, enacting his plan to make the detective more comfortable with being touched. He starts small. A hand on Harry’s shoulder when he’s done well, or when he needs to be bolstered. He leans into him to whisper confidentially into his ear. Once, the detective has mustard on his shirt, and Kim wets his handkerchief and dabs at it while the man stiffens and his face goes scarlet. He allows his hand to brush Harry’s when they play Suzerainty, handing off the die. But Harry doesn’t touch Kim. No, the detective keeps his hands to himself.
And then in May Harry touches him of his own volition.

Summary
This is ridiculous. Kim is fine. He's in his room at the Whirling, and is probably sound asleep. Are prophetic dreams even real?
LOGIC: No.
INLAND EMPIRE: Yes.
Harry tosses and turns for what feels like hours (twenty minutes). It's impossible to go back to sleep. He's restless, he's anxious, and he's still very sweaty.
DRAMA: You won't be able to rest until you see Kim. Even if you just knock on his door and hear his voice telling you to go back to bed, that would be enough.
ELECTROCHEMISTRY: You could also drink yourself to sleep. That would work just as well.
VOLITION: Well, it’s one or the other. You can’t get drunk and bother Kim after hours.
It's a bad idea, Harry thinks, even as he gets dressed.
-or-
Harry has a nightmare, and he's making it Kim's problem.

Summary
“You’re having trouble sleeping… is the couch a problem?”
“I’m not kicking you out of your bed,” Harry said.
“You’re not.” He waited for something to happen, but nothing did, so he continued. “It’s wide enough. You can tell me about your nightmare.”
Another quiet whimper from the other room. Then, miraculously, a shuffling noise shortly followed by a pitch swath of humanoid shadow in the dark grey space of the doorframe. A tiny victory over self loathing, apparently. The negotiations that followed were done blindly and in hushed tones.
Harry's apartment is deeply fucked after his return from Martinaise. Kim is kind enough to let him stay over for a couple nights and gets hit in the face with a ton of inconvenient feelings-bricks.
