One day, you and your colleagues had an argument about a new recruit in the department, and you ended up losing the argument. As punishment, you were paired with Kim Kitsuragi.

At first, you thought that this guy would be a hindrance due to his lack of experience, but you soon realized that you were wrong. He had brains, and he knew how to use them. He didn't interrupt much, documented everything, and was always there to assist you. Even the impersonal and business-like conversations at Coupris Kineema quickly turned into something personal and heartfelt... At least you laughed when he spoke with teenage embarrassment about his dream of becoming a pilot. But as always, you were unlucky once again.

You found yourself in the middle of a difficult situation, investigating a minor crime that turned against you. A bullet had passed through your side. When you left the hospital and saw Kim for the first time, you could tell how much it had affected him. He was no longer a green rookie.

Kim was standing in a small booth at a local shooting range. Your colleagues had told you about it, and now you could see it with your own eyes. Even the stupidest person could have guessed that he was using muscle memory instead of his eyes when shooting. Kitsuragi didn't notice you standing behind him and continued shooting at the targets with his earplugs in.
