I understand why people do it but using "Kim and Harry would take a bullet for each other" as an expression of their personal closeness is meaningless when canonically, Kim would have thrown himself in front of a bullet to save Harry before they even knew each other. It doesn't matter if Kim likes Harry or not -- they're both officers of the RCM, currently acting as partners, and therefore Kim sees it as his job to protect Harry's life without regard to personal safety. I'd bet Kim expects the same of Harry, at least subconsciously. It isn't about love. It's about duty

#disco elysium #there's lots to discuss regarding kim's prioritization of duty over him own health & wellbeing #& what that expresses both about him and about the culture of the rcm #kim sees himself as secondary to other people and ESPECIALLY as secondary to the rcm #kinda guy who needs a cause to devote himself to and he picked the rcm. clutching onto his belief in it like a lifeline (bc it is)#if he ever realizes that the rcm is harmful and not noble it's fucking over for him i fear #maybe he could come back from it but for a while at least he'll be in ultra mega breakdown mode #kim kitsuragi
