Check the DM from the unknown sender

Icon Dialogue Agent Commission Description

You get a DM from an unknown number wanting to rent a video tape. But the language seems a little strange... Read over the DM. It could be a new customer lead.

Icon Dialogue Agent Tracked Step Description

The sender of that prank DM is actually pretty polite... Perhaps they really are a potential new customer? Let's come back to that another day.
(Wait until the next day)

Welcome the "new customer" at the video store

Icon Dialogue Agent Tracked Step Description

There's a young Public Security Officer at the video store... Relax, Proxy! It looks like he's just an ordinary customer. So take a deep breath, treat him like any other customer, and everything will be fine.
(Idle)
Young Officer: ...So many videotapes from the old civilization. Amazing...
(Talk to the Young Officer)
Young Public Security Officer: Oh! Are you the manager of the video store?
Icon Dialogue Talk Yep. That's me.
Icon Dialogue Talk Hello, would you like to sign up for a membership?
Young Public Security Officer: I'm so sorry!!!
Icon Dialogue Talk ...Please keep it down.
Icon Dialogue Talk Do I know you?
Seth: Forgive me. Allow me to introduce myself. I'm Seth Lowell from the Lumina Branch of Public Security. I'm here because... because...
Seth: P—Please recommend me some movies... for lonely people...
Icon Dialogue Talk That sounds familiar...
Seth: Yes... I—I previously sent a message to reserve a videotape from your store...
Icon Dialogue Talk Oh~ You're that prankster!
Seth: Yes... But it wasn't a prank... Anyway, I'm really sorry...
(Both choices lead to the following responses)
Icon Dialogue Talk Didn't you say that you weren't renting it anymore?
Icon Dialogue Talk Didn't you say it was your colleague who sent that message?
Seth: Um... I wasn't the one who originally sent the message about reserving the videotape...
Seth: But then I saw that you had prepared the videotape...
Seth: You shouldn't have worked for nothing, so I thought it over and decided to rent it anyway.
Seth: I later asked my colleagues about your store. A few of them knew it and said the service here is excellent and the manager has great taste.
Icon Dialogue Talk Was there a specific movie you wanted to match [sic]?
Seth: Huh? But didn't you already make preparations for the reservation?
Icon Dialogue Talk You should watch movies you enjoy.
Icon Dialogue Talk Only satisfied customers become regulars.
Seth: You really are an amazing video store manager...
Icon Dialogue Talk So what do you wanna watch? Just let me know.
Seth: Uh... Do you have anything action-packed? Like one of those classic adventure movies?
Icon Dialogue Talk If you're truly sorry, then sign up for a new membership~
Seth: You sure know how to run your business. Seeing as I'm at fault here, I'll sign up.
Icon Dialogue Talk You're all signed up, so pick anything you like.
Seth: Okay... Do you have anything action-packed? Like one of those classic adventure movies?
An adventure movie? Looks like we can take out one of our most popular tapes... Find one and give it to the officer.

Give the customer a videotape that meets their requirements

Icon Dialogue Agent Tracked Step Description

So the new agent was the one who sent the "prank DM" from before... Or rather, the victim? Deliver the right videotape to the Public Security Officer called Seth, and we might just have another regular customer.
(If submission is cancelled)
Seth: Do you need more time? It's fine, I can wait.
(Submit "Starlight Knight" Film Case)
Seth: Okay, I'll take this one!
Icon Dialogue Talk Why do you want to watch an action-packed movie?
Seth: I usually live in the precinct's dorms and only return home on weekends. So, sometimes I get pretty... bored after work.
Icon Dialogue Talk Oh~ So it really is because of loneliness...
Seth: No! It's not like that at all!
Icon Dialogue Talk Don't forget to return it on time.
Seth: Got it. Is it okay if I return it next week?
Icon Dialogue Talk Earlier works too.
Icon Dialogue Talk I'll recommend something else when you return it.
Seth: You really care about your business! But your membership is a monthly subscription, right? Wouldn't you lose money if I came too often?
Seth: Anyway, I'll return it once I'm done. Thank you, Manager.
Icon Dialogue Talk You can call me (ProtagonistProtagonist).
Seth: Got it, Manager (ProtagonistProtagonist)! See you!
The young Public Security Officer, Seth, bids farewell and leaves the video store. Hopefully, there's no need to go to the Public Security precinct to collect tapes.
But that probably wouldn't happen. After all, he seems like a trustworthy officer.
