Ok I said that I was done talking about the shootout scene, but no. Listen. When the scab leader approaches Kim from behind while he's assessing your condition, you can do a skill check to warn him. That skill check gives you a bonus and is easier to pass if Kim trusts you, and even *more* bonus points if he *really* trusts you. I have a hunch that if you don't warn Kim to turn around then he DIES. Like listen. You're more likely to be able to warn him to turn around if he trusts you, okay? Whether or not Kim trusts you can be a deciding factor in whether he lives or dies. Do you hear me? His level of trust in you can determine his fate! DO YOU HEAR ME. WHETHER HE TRUSTS YOU OR NOT CAN DETERMINE IF HE LIVES OR DIES. LIKE HELLO!!!
