Well, for the first time in a little while, things seem a little bit dangerous. I'll have to roll up my sleeves here.
I don't really think I'm in trouble. I have these points as miai, after all:

It feels awkward to left white have the left one, but he should be dead, so it's no real problem.
Edit: I guess he has D17 if I ignore the left one, maybe... Hmm...

Considering the circled point seems to kill all the marked White stones, I don't think White living in gote in the top left should be too concerning for Black?
Oh, wait, if white goes first I guess there's still a ko to live in the middle. And white has local threats.
A ko? Isn't this just alive?

i did some counting...if i lose any group then i will not be able to win. i must make sure all my group are alive.. therefore only one way to play this...

I think that MW can not win, so he has to patiently wait and see if Kirby will lose!
I think that if Kirby plays below, he captures the two stones cleanly and makes his center stones safe. Then "a" and "b" are miai to kill something.

As I said earlier, it looks like miai. If he tries something tricky in the corner, maybe I can ignore it.
below, he captures the two stones cleanly and makes his center stones safe. Then "a" and "b" are miai to kill something.
