4 Kim Kitsuragi "I'm pretty sure you can pick up some odds and ends to sell here." He nods toward a table of knick-knacks. "The owner seems to have *eclectic* taste."

5 You "*Or* we could shut this place down? The stuff is clearly stolen."

6 Kim Kitsuragi "On the contrary -- we should do our part to *support* the local economy."

9 Kim Kitsuragi He nods. "Go ahead, do your part to support this grass-roots initiative."
10 You "Oh... Yes, I see what you're getting at. I guess we should just let it slide -- and maybe even profit?"
  • 11
11 Kim Kitsuragi "It *would* help our investigation if you weren't so hard up for cash."
  • 13
12 You "Shouldn't we at least ask where some of these things came from?"

13 Empathy It pains him to see a fellow officer struggling to make ends meet and not be able to offer assistance. This is his way of making it up to you.
14 You "True. There are inherent injustices in the social system I -- and all of us -- find ourselves in."

15 Kim Kitsuragi "It *would* help our investigation," he adds, his voice softening as he looks off to the side, "if you weren't so hard up for cash."

16 Kim Kitsuragi "It won't help our investigation to antagonize people we could interview."

17 Esprit de Corps ...we shouldn't disrupt the way things are done here, he thinks. And have little power to do so anyway.
18 You "My financial situation is none of your business."

21 You "I am fully deserving of the trials life has dealt me."
  • 22
22 Kim Kitsuragi "Perhaps, but it's no use punishing yourself more."
  • 25
23 Kim Kitsuragi He looks at you seriously. "An officer of the Citizens Militia can't live like that. We won't be able to complete *this investigation* if you live like that."

24 Composure The lieutenant's tone doesn't betray any frustration. Concern -- yes.

25 Empathy He's not too comfortable counselling you like this, but he's genuinely concerned for your well-being.

26 Kim Kitsuragi "It's not my intention to make it my business, just to move this investigation forward."
  • 27
27 Composure He is mildly offended that his display of camaraderie went wrong -- though it doesn't show in his posture.

28 Kim Kitsuragi "Sure. But one's financial situation could always be even better, right?"
  • 29
29 Drama He doesn't really think you're a superstar or that you're well-off. He's only playing along because it's expedient.

37 Kim Kitsuragi "I wouldn't go that far but..." He shrugs. "Why not?"
