You can't help but stare at Kim whenever he works - he's so deliberate, so methodical, and he seems to apply that sort of care and competence to everything. You've seen almost nothing that he can't do, and the few things that you have seen were because of his poor eyesight; it was as if he did everything twice as competently to make up for his one shortcoming, you think, and something in you yearns as you watch him work.
When he compliments your work at the end of the first day, his one cigarette's light glittering against his glasses, you feel all right for the first time since you woke up that morning (or for the first time as far as you know,) and you feel yourself deciding that if you're going to be his partner, you're going to be as good a cop as you can possibly be.
