Re: Disco Elysium, Harry/Kim

a racing track whose presence had been Kim’s only request when, three years ago, a dead-eyed Harry had urged them to pack up and move out, anywhere, NOW.
This!!! I love this!!!!!! Kim only asking for the close race track and Harry having a breaking point where he just CAN'T anymore.

Referring to their moving as "exile": OW.

and when the evenings are cool and cloudless and they look to the south-east, toward Mundi’s porch collapse now vivid on the horizon, to the swelling numbness of the pale and to the dissolving concept of Insulinde’s atomic wasteland far beyond it, Harry is still shaken by a shiver, as alive as he’s ever been.
BEAUTIFUL, haunting, lovely.

You stack so much into such a small space and I love it. Also, this is almost exactly what I've wanted for them post-canon ever since I played the game, and here it is, succinct and lovely. <3
