One scene I've not seen people really discuss about the characterisation of Harry is him denying raping Klaasje, almost on instinct.

It's the very first option in the dialogue tree.

I don't want to make sweeping generalisations because it's not a subject where you can, at all, but I think this speaks again to him seeing himself in the mercenary.
The fact it only comes up here is interesting. He was perfectly composed to hear *someone* was assaulted; he was perfectly (well, mostly, it does come up a bit) fine with his actions in asking if she wanted "to have fuck" with him. But once that comes up as part of the case, once these things converge, he basically has a(nother) breakdown. As if his job, and his ability to do it, is where he has chosen to lodge all of his guilt.
But also, like, Harry, my dude, *I'm* starting to suspect you here and I know there was no point over this weekend where you could have managed that. Have you been in this situation before, officer?
Anyway, I'm interested to hear other thoughts on this, if anyone has any. (Also lmk if I need to tag any more warnings)
