Part Nine of Kimmy
Part Nine of Kimmy continues following events on the afternoon of Thursday 10 June 2083 after Patrick is killed, with twelve chapters that alternate between two points-of-view: four from Kay’s perspective; then four from Kim’s; and another four from Kay’s, as Kim tries to reach and repair Kay’s consciousness as well as prevent Emily from causing more damage to her.
Chapter breakdown
Kay’s perspective
Chapter 130
Kay doesn’t recognise Kim and her memories are fragmented; she passively waits for Kim to plug a data cable to link them together, and then is bewildered by the flood of data from Kim.
Chapter 131
Kay struggles to remember herself and Kim as her systems reboot.
Chapter 132
Kay recognises Kim’s memories and her voice speaking to her.
Chapter 133
Kay’s memories are gradually returning to her, when Emily arrives and prepares to give her an order.
Kim’s perspective
Chapter 134
Kim confronts Emily and at gunpoint tries to get her to understand what cruelty Kay has experienced for the last nineteen months, and how much damage Emily has done and could still do to her.
Chapter 135
Kim further explains how she came to know Kay and that she is just as sentient, but fundamentally disempowered relative to Emily.
Chapter 136
Kim gives Emily time to absorb this new information, while Emily occasionally cries.
Chapter 137
Emily realises she dismembered a dead Kimmy to make a Halloween costume, and is reassured that the first Kay was already dead when she was delivered to Emily and John.
Kay’s perspective
Chapter 138
Kay overhears the discussion and recognises voices he knows and loves, even if he can’t follow everything.
Chapter 139
Kay’s fingers begin twitching, and a moment later Kay cowers into a ball to avoid the pain of being herself again.
Chapter 140
Kay asks Kim to disconnect from her, and Kim has to warn Emily not to speak anything that might resemble an order.
Chapter 141
Kay relaxes, realising Kim is here to help her.
