>>3692430At this point you realise that Lamby may be your heraldic beast, as you have similar softness and morale-healing properties. Kim is surprisingly not repulsed by your embrace; Empathy suggests he may be almost as touch-starved as you are. He gently pats you on the back, out of pity.
Suggestion reckons you can escalate to him stroking you, if you squeeze him a little bit more. Half Light suddenly demands you assert physical dominance and "crush the binoclard". You can either end the hug early or follow one of these two branches.
Squeezing him a little leads you to break down sobbing on his shoulder (Composure Impossible: Failure). You can wipe your tears with the hankie he gave you earlier, Conceptualization sees it as a totem of his unconditional kindness towards you. If you voice this thought, Kim will disagree and take back the hankie, reminding you that his kindness is earned, and the best way to show gratitude to him is to solve the case. Promise you will do your best to get a good grade in Kim from now on and he'll smile just a little.
Try to crush his wiry frame and Pain Threshold realises Kim is uncrushable. The blood of Hjelmdall surges within you and you sprout a hard-on (Composure Impossible: Failure). In your stuttering attempt to cover this up, you argue that RCM officers should aggressively bro-hug each other more in order to "synchronise reflexes", a bonding technique that could save both your lives in a crisis. You say it with such conviction that Kim seriously considers the idea.
Either route gets you an extra +1 to warning him at the tribunal, on top of the initial +1 for successfully having hugged him. Thanks for reading my brainworms.
