  • 75
67 Savoir Faire As the concrete floor welcomes you, you realize it's been a while since you felt so alive, alert, capable. Must be the adrenaline.

  • 149
86 Kim Kitsuragi "I was under the assumption we could ask the leader of this Union to help us get this body down. This is why we're here, right?" He doesn't wait for you to answer.

  • 205
111 You "Thanks, I think it's working." (Let go of your tie.)
  • 207
112 Savoir Faire After a while your sobbing stops. Up here no one saw the little meltdown you just had and your heart actually feels lighter now. Time to proceed.
  • 206
113 Savoir Faire Tears run down your face. You're clutching your chest and mumbling incoherently. How much worse can it get?

  • 197
133 Kim Kitsuragi The wind is aggressive up here. The lieutenant looks at the enormous crane towering in the distance, over the container yard.
  • 134

  • 147
142 You "It's just a machine, lieutenant. Like a giant hammer or a pair of pliers. Nothing to see here."
  • 146
143 You Let him have this moment of wonder.
  • 144

  • 25
146 Kim Kitsuragi "I think there's a certain beauty in this giant pair of pliers. But you're right, we were focusing on your *cloak*..."

157 Policeman Cloak As your fingers touch the tarpaulin it almost feels like the cloak wants to deliver a message of comfort through your fingertips...
  • 165
158 You Just a cop's cloak... I don't want to deal with this right now. [Leave.]
  • 169
159 You The cloak does not concern me at the moment. [Leave.]

  • 21
173 Policeman Cloak A tarpaulin cloak is still caught on the railing. No one has claimed it for their own.

174 Electrochemistry Don't be ridiculous, of course not.
  • 223
175 You No, a drink *would* ruin the pristine beauty of this moment of ultimate sobriety.
  • 183

189 Horrific Necktie The necktie is guiding you through this. It's your spirit animal, both your nemesis and friend. Suddenly a feeling of ease brushes through you -- you're fine again.
  • 115
190 Horrific Necktie The sadness, the stress, the failures of the past and present and the weight of being you. It would wash you away, too, if it weren't for the firm grip of your necktie.
  • 189
191 You "I'm alright, Kim... I... I just can't do it right now."
  • 192
192 Kim Kitsuragi "I understand. We can always come back when you're feeling better. It's just a cloak after all."
  • 206
193 You Interesting. Why would someone leave a cloak there, and how can I get to it?
  • 194
