Lauren Sinclair
Kym and Lauren have been friends for two years. They have a very close relationship, with Lauren knowing about Kym's watch, and the latter knowing about Lauren's lie-detecting ability and her childhood friend, Dylan Rosenthal. Kym cares a lot about Lauren, her loyalty exemplified by keeping her suspicions of Lauren being a part of Lune a secret, even though she herself was tasked with finding Lune.

William Hawkes
When Kym first joined the Ardhalis Police Department, she was placed in the 11th Precinct Patrol Unit under William. After meeting Lauren, Kym grew close with her and William and Kym's irresponsibility and lack of working became the daily topic during her quarrels with William.

On the day of an early morning, William saw Kym silently working on her paperwork at her desk. Kym and William began bickering, and she accidentally spilled William's coffee cup all over Lukas Randall's desk. Then, Lauren, Kym, and William all go to the janitor's closet to clean up the mess when suddenly, Lauren saw blood coming from the closet room. Kym opened the door to see Harvey Wood's bloody corpse and went into a state of shock. William grabbed Kym from behind and embraced her while he took a look at Harvey's dead body. Later in the day, the rest of the members of the precinct began to trickle in and Lauren reported the details of the discovery. Still in a state of shock, Kym's ears began to block out all of the noise in the room, and she ran away from room, lying that she still had unfinished paperwork; William saw Kym pale condition and began to run after her. Kym ran outside of the station without stopping and halted only when she heard music coming from a store that displayed an antique music box with a dancing ballerina. She stood in front of the music box until the song came to an end, which is when William called out her name. Kym turned around in surprise and assured him that she was fine. She explained that she realised how over time, everyone's clocks will stop in time eventually. Before William can react to Kym's words, Kym jumped back to her cheery self and suggested to return back to the precinct. Lauren later appeared holding both Kym and William's coats due to the cold.

Their somber conversation quickly turned into a bicker over Kym denying that William had embraced her. They hastily concluded that Kym fell on the ground which satisfied the both of them.

After returning back to the office one day, Kym found difficulty concentrating on her work after her small quarrel with William. Inside of the suffocating office, William finally confronted Kym after Lukas left to grab coffee. However, forgetting that she was not alone, Kym instinctively threw William over her shoulder and began slapping his face to wake him up while apologising. Lukas returned back to the office to witness [ a loving scene or something ] and apologised for interrupting. Both Kym and William looked up to deny the scene but was instead requested to see Hermann in his office.

After finishing work, Kym held William by the arm to make sure he does not fall from fatigue and escorted him home. During their walk, Kym suddenly confessed that she was Lune to which William did not fall for and simply ignored it. She then asked William what he would do if someone he were close to really were Lune, and William hesitantly responded that he would hand them over to Hermann. Kym asked if William valued duty over friendship to which William replied that it was not about what he valued, but what others expected him to do. When William claimed that it would be nice if he did not need to act restrained all the time, Kym stated that he never restrained himself when he was with her. After a moment of silence, an uncomfortable wave of tension spread across the two as Kym escorted William back to his home.
