Find Lighter

Commission Description

Lighter seems to be shopping around Lumina Square. Go and chat with him.

(Idle): Lighter: Well, I've almost bought everything I wanted...

(Talk to Lighter)

Lighter: Hey there, we meet again.

Lighter: I feel like I bump into you every time I come into the city...

Lighter: Is this some kind of special coincidence?

A coincidence indeed

Lighter: I'm starting to suspect it's fate.

I've actually just been following you this whole time

Lighter: Whoa, that sounds freaky. But there's nothing to gain from following me, is there?

Lighter: Speaking of which, lately in the Outer Ring...

Before Lighter can finish, a figure wearing an NEPS uniform begins sprinting over toward you...
He's shouting strange things, like "Freeze!" and "You are surrounded!"...

Lighter: ...Sorry, (‍Wise / Belle‍).

Lighter: I should get going.

Before you have a chance to react, Lighter has fled — surprisingly fast.

Seth Lowell: Damn, I couldn't catch up...

It's Seth

What are you doing here, Seth?

Seth: Ah, it's you.

Seth: I'm in pursuit of a fugitive...

A fugitive... Are you talking about Lighter?

You're saying, that guy in the shades is a fugitive?

Seth: Huh? You know that guy?

Seth: No, now's not the time to chat... I have to chase this guy down!

(I feel like there must have been some kind of misunderstanding here)

(Let's chase them down and see)

Step Description

For some reason, Lighter suddenly vanishes... Try to find him before Seth does.

(Idle): Lighter: Tsk.

(Talk to Lighter)

Lighter: Oh, it's you.

Lighter: I thought that Pubsec officer was still chasing me...

Why'd you run just then, Lighter?

Lighter: *ahem* ...I couldn't help it.

Lighter, are you a fugitive?

Lighter: Of course not. If I were a fugitive, would I be showing my face around Lumina Square?

Lighter: I was just following my instincts...

Lighter: I mean, if an officer came running up to you out of the blue in the street shouting "Freeze!"...

Lighter: You'd instinctively want to make a run for it, right?

Really?

(Eye with suspicion)

Lighter: ...Okay. You know, I used to work for an underground fighting arena.

Lighter: To put it in your terms an "unsanctioned street fight"... and it always involved some *ahem* exchanging of Dennies.

Lighter: Anyway, of course, things are bound to get a bit sticky if someone like me comes across an officer from Public Security or HSO.

???: Why'd you just mention HSO?

A familiar voice suddenly cuts you off...
Turns out that it's Asaba Harumasa from Section 6.

Asaba Harumasa: Hello citizens, have you come across any issues?

What's HSO doing here?

What are you doing here?

Harumasa: Me? Why, because I care more about the safety of the general public than anyone at Public Security.

Harumasa: This must be Mr. Lighter. Pleased to meet you.

Lighter: ...Do you know me?

Harumasa: You're pretty famous in the Outer Ring... The Champion "Red Scarf," right?

Lighter: Turns out, HSO agents do have a basic knowledge of the Outer Ring.

Harumasa: I know you're a member of a mercenary group.

Harumasa: That case was ultimately ruled to be an "accident", wasn't it? And you...

Lighter: I hate dealing with people who are too smart for their own good.

Lighter: Why don't you just come out and say it— what do you want?

Harumasa: I'm chasing down a... fugitive. There's no trace of him in New Eridu. He may have already made it to the Outer Ring.

Harumasa: If you come across any intel, please let me know. Of course, I'll make it worth your while.

Harumasa describes the fugitive to Lighter... So this guy can work hard when he wants to, huh?
Lighter finally nods after they finish talking.

Lighter: Alright then. I'll keep an eye out for this fugitive.

Seth mentioned he was chasing after a fugitive, too...

Harumasa: Oh, him. We're after different people.

Harumasa: And it was obvious from the start that he had the wrong guy. What kind of fugitive would be wandering around the streets in broad daylight like that?

Lighter: You see, that's how most people would think, right?

Lighter: Ah... The officer has finally caught up with us. He's over there.

(Let's chat with Seth...)

(Let's clear up any misunderstandings)

Chat with Seth

Commission Description

Seth finally found you... Chat with him about what just happened.

(Talk to Lighter, optional): Lighter: That's pretty steep. Must give you a nice budget to spend at HSO?; Harumasa: This wasn't in the budget.; Harumasa: Dennies were made to be spent, right? Doesn't matter where.; Lighter: Tsk. Only wealthy elites talk like that.; Harumasa: Hahaha, I'll take that as a compliment.

(Talk to Seth)

Seth: You all...

We were short one person just now.

Lighter: You've got a good sense of humor.

But now we have enough for a game of mahjong.

Lighter: Well, four people can play a round or two.

Seth: So all of you know this wanted criminal here?

Seth pulls out a wanted poster. The man on the poster bears a resemblance to Lighter, wearing a studded leather jacket as well. However, upon closer inspection, it's clear that they look different. Seth furrows his brow as he compares the wanted poster to Lighter, glancing back and forth between the two.

Seth: Why does it feel like... something's off...

Lighter isn't a wanted criminal

Seth, did you get the wrong guy?

Seth: That's strange. He looked so similar from afar...

Seth: S—Sorry about that. I must've been mistaken!

Harumasa: So you mistook this guy in the sunglasses for the criminal on your poster, all because you have poor eyesight...

Harumasa: And chased him all the way down the street until you finally discovered it was all a mistake~

Seth: ...

Lighter: It's no big deal. Seeing as our officer friend has already apologized, I...

Harumasa: Ohhh, so good citizens just put up with stuff like that, huh?

Harumasa: If it were me, I'd be filing a complaint down at the precinct, right?

Harumasa: After all, if apologies worked, what would we need Public Security for?

Seth: Senior Asaba, why you...!

Quit bickering

That's enough

Lighter: (‍Wise / Belle‍) is right. Let's leave it be.

Lighter: You two, I have other things to attend to, so I'm gonna take my leave now.

You catch Lighter's gaze, and walk off to a corner with him...

Lighter: ...If possible, I really would prefer not to deal with these "public servants"...

Lighter: They're kinda terrifying.

Lighter: Honestly, I was just walking around minding my own business when this disaster just came at me out of the blue, right?

It's okay. I know some people at Public Security

It's okay. I know some people in Section 6

Lighter: ...Then you must be pretty well connected.

Lighter: But today wasn't a total waste. I managed to negotiate a lucrative little business deal...

Lighter: Anyway... Thanks for today.

Lighter: If it wasn't for you, I'm sure it would've taken me quite a while longer to get out of that situation.

(Idle): Lighter: The city really is a dangerous place...

(Talk to Lighter again, optional): Lighter: Next time, I'd better avoid Public Security.
