I feel like im going crazy right now. So we know that disco elysium's electrochemistry is not actually the addictions guy, but rather the pleasure guy. Hes just too compromised by Harry's addictions that theres not a lot else that can give electrochemistry any pleasure. He has basically gone so far he has become distorted from what his original purpose was supposed to be.

But i personally cannot think of electrochemistry and volition as separate, because they are literally each other's opposite; electrochemistry is indulgence and instant gratification and volition is self restraint and delayed gratification. So i thought in a healthy person these two will work in favor of each other insead of rivalling.

So then i thought what happens if someone's volition were to go too far and become so extreme it distorts into something it shouldn't be?

Then i realized. That's kim. Thats the guy who puts way too much effort into appearing as boring and regular as possible that he cannot tell his own partner what kind of music he listens to without shame. The guy who needs to be convinced to play a board game with his partner.

Kims volition has become so obsessed with self restraint that it has become a type of social anxiety revolving around having an iron grip around his reputation and (lack of) pleasure 24/7 that he needs the extreme electrochemistry guy to balance it. They make me insane.

Electrochemistry [Success]

[trinsh]

COMPOSURE – Stop. You've gotten too close to him. Your heart is pounding, and you can barely stand.

ELECTROCHEMISTRY – Yes! Don't waste time. Grab him by anything. Better yet – kiss him.

AUTHORITY – The Lieutenant is a professional. He would never let this happen. Accept the fact that after this, he'll mock you for being such an incompetent officer.

VOLITION – Keep yourself together. Turn it into a joke. No disaster will occur.

LOGIC – If you step back now, you can say you tripped.

ELECTROCHEMISTRY [Impossible – Success] – Kiss Kim Kitsuragi.

harry comes to the conclusion that kim is in fact both a decorated police lieutenant AND a naughty boy
