Story Civil Affairs

Video Summary: Public Security handles various civil affairs for citizens and also lends a helping hand to those in need.
Story Description: We've asked Nicole to get in touch with Rain, and the monster's remains in the plaza are about to be collected. With some free time on your hands, you decided to head to Public Security at Lumina Square to renew your driver's licenses.


As expected, (‍BelleBelle / WiseWise‍) is taking a call at the parking lot...
Nicole: So for the monster in the square, you're really saying HAND is gonna take over the remaining investigation?
(SiblingSibling): (‍Absolutely positive.Absolutely positive. / Absolutely.Absolutely.‍) We heard it firsthand together with the Belobog Industries people.
(SiblingSibling): The monster's remains will still be collected by Public Security, of course, but the automated evidence carrier will bring the remains to HAND once it passes through the Hollow.
Nicole: Yeah, I get it. HAND is better than Public Security at investigating this kinda weird stuff.
Nicole: They've always had a pretty delicate relationship. That PubSec officer seems decent though, being willing to put that aside and hand over the case.
Nicole: Oh, it's getting late. I can't stay and chat, I have a client meeting scheduled later.
Nicole: Anyway, I'll do my best to help look for Rain, so keep an eye out for some good news!
(SiblingSibling): (‍Thanks, Nicole! Bye!Thanks, Nicole! Bye! / Thanks, Nicole. See you soon.Thanks, Nicole. See you soon.‍)
