A word of advice to the crass detective: it’s not kind to tell someone their gift means nothing to you.

I understand that you were aiming for a morally grey protagonist, but in practice what you've ended up with is more of a moral beige.

@ancient-tree-with-deathwish replied:

how do you distinguish grey from other colours beyond black and wite?

Distinguishing features of moral beige:

The protagonist is constantly agonising over Hard Choices; however, circumstances always conspire to prevent them from actually having to make those choices, so in practice they're just angsting over stuff they might have done.

The text exhibits a recurring pattern whereby the protagonist seems to to have made a Hard Choice, but new information is reliably revealed shortly thereafter which retroactively establishes that whatever they did was the morally upright course after all.

The protagonist's moral impulses are straightforwardly heroic, except in one specific context which lacks any clear real-world analogue; for example, being prejudiced against telepaths.

The protagonist's actions are consistently reasonable based on the information available to them – they're merely operating on bad information basically all the time due to a bizarre conspiracy and/or a series of increasingly implausible misunderstandings.

The protagonist always ends up doing the right thing (for some fuzzy value of "right"), but, like, they're really grumpy about it.

God will see you at the lowest point of your life, and say "what the fuck I thought I killed that thing." But you skitter too fast and you are too creepy.

KIM KITSURAGI - "Alright, but -- and, forgive me, this has been bothering me since this morning -- how have you managed to run around all day *wearing only one shoe*?"

YOU - "It's part of my penance. I punish myself."

KIM KITSURAGI - "Well, there seems to be a shoe that is a match to the one you're wearing further down the balcony." He points with his cigarette. "Perhaps you can collect it when we're done talking."

PERCEPTION (SIGHT) - He's right. There it is, green and shiny under the glowing Whirling window... The sky above is dark and the lights sparkle.

KIM KITSURAGI - "Imagine how much faster you could run wearing a cool patent leather shoe on *each* foot." He smiles suddenly.
