    He’s a cop, seems to have believed in being a cop since he handled three times as many cases as his coworkers. All the other cops you meet, including Kim, have moralist beliefs. Like the church. Kim does a quick prayer and Harry has a dim feeling of religious ecstasy when he first enters the church. It’s stuff like that. I don’t think it’s outright stated anywhere, you’re right.

      Kim is vaguely a moralist but it’s not important to him. The Revachol Citizen’s Militia has its roots in the old commune. The end of the game shows the leader of the precinct planning another Communist revolution. I don’t think these particular cops care about moralism one way or the other, it’s just the prevailing system that they work under

        Yeah, that’s how I interpret moralism in general. No one actually cares that much about it, it’s just dominant and has trickled down into people’s brains. The people who do care about it are like religious acolytes.
