I went through and landed all of my checks, and it broke me. He said the best things he possibly could have, Kim had just the right interjections, she took it so bravely… And that’s what did it for me. The profound sadness the actress gave, the tender understanding and condolences of Kim, and the obviously uncomfortable yet professional and compassionate dialogue options.

this quest always gets to me because i have been in her situation and its the **exact** conversation we had with the police, when harry succeed in the check and if kim saves it like this. altho even when harry fails the check its not that bad i think. its usually two cops telling you and they can look to each other for help if they dont know what to do just like here.

It's also a very familiar reaction for her part. The initial denial, the numb pragmatism before it really hits you, worrying about how to tell the kids more than about herself... Yeah, this scene gets to me too

@@suicune2001 Its from the game. I think there are moments when this does not holds up but most of the time - its right. "KIM KITSURAGI: “Pleased to make your acquaintance, Harrier Du Bois.” ESPRIT DE CORPS: He's not going to call you Harrier. He'll keep calling you 'officer' when he's angry with you and 'detective' when he's not."

@@Fearior I'm not sure if he's actually angry, but he unconsciously says it when he's warning you (which yes, tends to happen when he's angry at you). It's almost like a little reminder that you're still a policeman in need of composure, whereas detective is said for when you're investigating (which is any other time).

the thing about this is that kim has done this before. he KNOWS how hard it is. his own internal monologue probably didnt sound so different from ours. even if he's never fucked up a death report like harry just did, he knows that it would be so easy to, and for that, he doesnt believe that theres anything to forgive harry for. i love this game

I haven't specifically tried that but LOTS of stuff changes and becomes inaccessible after the tribunal so my guess is it's not even available. Interesting question, though. I might actually try that out.
