Sudden Attack
The following is recorded in the Video Archive
"Sudden Attack"Video Summary: Crisis always comes unexpectedly.
Story Description: Suddenly, a group of unknown armed personnel launches a surprise attack, catching everyone off guard. At a critical moment, Hoshimi Miyabi draws her blade and deflects a bullet aimed at Perlman.
- BANG—! BANG—! BANG—! BANG—!
Gunfire erupts like a relentless downpour, and sharp bursts of dust and smoke scatter across the open clearing. A flash of blade, swift as lightning, shatters a bullet hurtling toward Perlman, sending up a spray of sparks in an eerie glow. 
- Anby & Tsukishiro Yanagi & Asaba Harumasa: Get down—!
- Perlman: Waaaahh...!
- Asaba Harumasa: Gunfire? This pattern... Suppressive marching fire... They're surrounding us! From three directions!
- Hoshimi Miyabi: Nicole! Did you set this up? Are you really colluding with the criminals?
- Nicole: Hey! I was gonna ask you the same thing! Isn't this armed ambush your doing?!
- Nicole: Don't tell me someone else is after us...?!
- Honk honk!
Piper barrels in with Steeltusk, just in time to shield everyone. - (ProtagonistProtagonist): Piper! Start the truck! Now's our chance to get outta here!
- Hoshimi Miyabi: Wait! You're not getting away! Uh...!
- A barrage of bullets disrupts the confrontation. The Cunning Hares seize the chance and hop into the truck, leaving Section 6 behind as they charge through the gunfire...
- (If Wonderful Day in the Hollow is exited)
- (Talk to Piper)
- Piper: Something's happened! We need to get outta here quickstyle...
- Piper: P—Proxy. Hop in!
Let's go!

- (A cinematic plays)
- Billy: We've changed our route so many times, but they're still hot on our heels!
- Billy: Woah! Piper watch out!
- Mercenary: Close in! Let's go!
- Anby: Focus on the road. I'll deal with them.
- Billy: Whoa—! Dude! You're trying way too hard!
- Nicole: Billy! Keep it steady!

Hollow Collaboration
The following is recorded in the Video Archive
"Hollow Collaboration"Video Summary: Cooperation brings mutual gain, while conflict harms all.
Story Description: Plunged into the Hollow, you find yourself cut off from Sensory Sync. Meanwhile, Hoshimi Miyabi, in pursuit of the convoy and assaulters, arrives at the same spot.
Faced with this desperate situation, you are reluctantly forced into a temporary alliance.
Faced with this desperate situation, you are reluctantly forced into a temporary alliance.
- Some time after the truck was attacked and lost control, in an unknown Outer Ring Hollow...
- As (WiseWise /
BelleBelle) works on adjusting the communications device, Hoshimi Miyabi stands guard to the side, calm and quiet. - Hoshimi Miyabi: ...How'd it go? Did you fix it?
- (Try adjusting your smart ocular implants.)
- (Try contacting your friends.)
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (Hello? Is anyone there? Nicole? Belle? Fairy? Can you hear me?Hello? Is anyone there? Nicole? Belle? Fairy? Can you hear me? /
Hello? Hello? Nicole? Wise? Fairy? Can you hear me?Hello? Hello? Nicole? Wise? Fairy? Can you hear me?) - (ProtagonistProtagonist): (Tsk... still nothing.

Can't believe the crash broke the implants... Now that the main functions are down and communications are cut off, we're isolated. This isn't good... /
*sigh* Still nothing... The crash must've broken the implants. Without the main functions, I can't reach anyone. This is bad...*sigh* Still nothing... The crash must've broken the implants. Without the main functions, I can't reach anyone. This is bad...) - Hoshimi Miyabi: I see...
- (Check in with Miyabi)
- (Try starting a conversation with Miyabi)
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (*ahem* ...Miss Hoshimi, how are things on your end? Any luck reaching your team?*ahem* ...Miss Hoshimi, how are things on your end? Any luck reaching your team? /
Um... How are things on your end, Miss Miyabi? Any luck reaching your team?Um... How are things on your end, Miss Miyabi? Any luck reaching your team?) - Hoshimi Miyabi: Nothing so far. I went after you alone after you drove off. My teammates might still be fighting the attackers outside the Hollow.
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): I see. Um... Miss (HoshimiHoshimi /
MiyabiMiyabi)... could you please... let go of my hand? (I kinda want to... wipe my sweat off.I kinda want to... wipe my sweat off. / I—I kinda need to wipe my sweat off...I—I kinda need to wipe my sweat off...) - Hoshimi Miyabi: No. I had to get past 11 motorcycles, 4 cars, and 5 soldiers just to catch up with your vehicle.
- Hoshimi Miyabi: It's pure luck I found you in the Hollow. It'll be hard to catch you if you escape again. The Hoshimi family doesn't make the same mistake thrice.
- Shouldn't that be "twice"?
- I promise I won't run off.
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Uh... Shouldn't that be "twice"? Anyway, I promise I won't run off. Besides, there's nowhere to run to... Wandering the Hollow without a Carrot will just get us even more lost.
- Hoshimi Miyabi: In that case, let's sit down. The Hollow Survival Guide says it's best to wait in a safe corner for rescue. My teammates will come looking for me. We just need to hold out until then.
- The young Void Hunter stares at the katana in her hands, lost in her own thoughts.
- (Suggest working together)
- (Suggest a new plan)
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Are you sure this is the right move, Miss (HoshimiHoshimi /
MiyabiMiyabi)? - Hoshimi Miyabi: ...You mean being stuck in the Hollow on Election Day, knowing there's a dangerous case out there, while my team fights and I just sit here... Is that what you're asking?
- Hoshimi Miyabi: No, I don't think this is the right move, but there's nothing else I can do. So I'm undergoing the training called "maintain composure despite the emotional turmoil inside."
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (A-Ah, I see! Since you also don't want to just wait around, may I suggest another option?A-Ah, I see! Since you also don't want to just wait around, may I suggest another option? /
Ah, I see! Since you also don't want to just wait around... maybe you'd like to hear my idea?Ah, I see! Since you also don't want to just wait around... maybe you'd like to hear my idea?) - (ProtagonistProtagonist): (How about we work together? I'm indeed an experienced Proxy. Given my expertise, I'm confident I can find us a way out. However, I lack the ability to handle unexpected danger...How about we work together? I'm indeed an experienced Proxy. Given my expertise, I'm confident I can find us a way out. However, I lack the ability to handle unexpected danger... /
What if we work together? I don't mean to brag, but I really am an experienced Proxy! I'm pretty confident about finding a way out of the Hollow! I just can't defend myself on my own...What if we work together? I don't mean to brag, but I really am an experienced Proxy! I'm pretty confident about finding a way out of the Hollow! I just can't defend myself on my own...) - (ProtagonistProtagonist): You have the combat prowess, and I have the skills to find the exit. Let's put aside the whole arrest thing for now and get out of here together. What do you say?
- Hoshimi Miyabi: ...Didn't you say your important gadget is broken? How will you navigate us?
- (Explain what a Proxy can do)
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Well... have you heard of the "maze-solving algorithm"? In simple terms, if we ignore the dangers in the Hollow and just consider its tendency to make people lost, it's really nothing but a maze.
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Finding a path through a maze (has beenhas been /
isis) a well-studied math problem since the old civilization. With enough basic data, even the most complicated maze can be solved! - Hoshimi Miyabi: Enough basic data... You mean Hollow observation data?
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Exactly! The most common task for H.I.A. Investigators traversing the Hollows is to set up devices to gather Hollow observation data, or to retrieve new observation data from existing data piles.
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): The observation data is essential for exploring the Hollows and is used to make Carrots.
- Hoshimi Miyabi: So Proxies can find an exit in the Hollow using observation data?
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (A trained Proxy is able to do so — or rather, that SHOULD be a Proxy's bread and butter. Not many people really care about it these days... after all, a Carrot or high-spec computer can calculate it for them.A trained Proxy is able to do so — or rather, that SHOULD be a Proxy's bread and butter. Not many people really care about it these days... after all, a Carrot or high-spec computer can calculate it for them. /
Yes, it's a fundamental skill for properly trained Proxies. But many people don't bother anymore, since Carrots or advanced computers can do the calculations for them.Yes, it's a fundamental skill for properly trained Proxies. But many people don't bother anymore, since Carrots or advanced computers can do the calculations for them.) - (ProtagonistProtagonist): Anyway, there is a way out! If you could help me find an observation data pile, (I'll handle the rest!I'll handle the rest! /
I'll take care of the rest!I'll take care of the rest!) - The Fox Thiren ponders for a short moment, before nodding her head serenely.
- Hoshimi Miyabi: Understood. Let's call a temporary truce and work together.
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (A wise decision! So...A wise decision! So... /
great! Um...great! Um...) could you please let go of my hand now? (II / I—II—I) really need to wipe that sweat off...
- (Ongoing)
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (Urgh... The spot I fell on still hurts quite a bit...Urgh... The spot I fell on still hurts quite a bit... /
Ouch...! My butt still hurts...Ouch...! My butt still hurts...) - (ProtagonistProtagonist): Moving through the Hollow in my physical body (isis /
feelsfeels) so uncomfortable. - Hoshimi Miyabi: Leave any fighting to me, you just go at your own pace.
- (Talk to Miyabi)
- Hoshimi Miyabi: Are you alright?
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): I'm okay, just a little uncomfortable after entering the Hollow.
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Let's look around for Hollow observation data piles, Miss (HoshimiHoshimi /
MiyabiMiyabi). - (ProtagonistProtagonist): I can read the data inside and find a way out of here.
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): There's a Hollow observation data pile ahead.
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): We can determine the way forward once we extract the data from it.
- (Interact with Data Pile)
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): The data pile here is still intact.
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): One moment, I'll try to read it and create a makeshift Carrot.
- (After completing the puzzle)
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): It'll take some time.
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): By the way, your katana has been trembling and making strange noises... Is everything okay?
- Hoshimi Miyabi: It's nothing. No need to worry.
- Hoshimi Miyabi: Just focus on reading the data, Proxy. I'll protect you.
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Got it. I'll get started. I'll leave the rest to you, Miss (HoshimiHoshimi /
MiyabiMiyabi).
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Great, we have the data on the surrounding Hollow.
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): But... this isn't enough to calculate an escape route.
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): We'll need to find more data.
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Thanks to you, Miss (HoshimiHoshimi /
MiyabiMiyabi), we haven't had any trouble along the way. - (ProtagonistProtagonist): But, something just doesn't feel right.
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): The Ether activity nearby seems to be increasing.
- Hoshimi Miyabi: ...Your intuition might be right, Proxy.
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (Miss Hoshimi, is something wrong?Miss Hoshimi, is something wrong? /
is something wrong?is something wrong?) - (ProtagonistProtagonist): The mechanism ahead should open the door.
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Leave it to me.
- (After interacting with Control Panel)
- Hoshimi Miyabi: There are enemies ahead.
- Hoshimi Miyabi: I'll take care of this. You can just hide for now.
- (After defeating the enemies)
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): There's a Hollow observation data pile ahead.
- (Interact with Data Pile)
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): The Hollow observation data pile here controls the Etheric extraction tower. I'll try to hack it.
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): But... the stored Ether might overflow from the tower, drawing in Ethereals...
- Hoshimi Miyabi: No problem. I'll take care of them.
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Okay. I'll leave the Ethereals to you, Miss (HoshimiHoshimi /
MiyabiMiyabi). I'll focus on accessing the tower's controls. - (ProtagonistProtagonist): Are you sure your katana is ok? If you need, I can take a look at its electrical components!
- Hoshimi Miyabi: Don't worry... this is normal. Just focus on reading the data, Proxy.
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): But... collecting the data will take some time.
- Hoshimi Miyabi: Understood. You focus on processing the data.
- Hoshimi Miyabi: Leave the rest to me.
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Miss (HoshimiHoshimi /
MiyabiMiyabi)! Watch out for the Ether current! - (ProtagonistProtagonist): I'll open the diffuser, (you'll be safe below ityou'll be safe below it /
you can hide under ityou can hide under it)!
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): We have control authorization now! We can stop the Ether current!
- Hoshimi Miyabi: Nicely done! Now we can go all out!

- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Impressive![Note 1]
- Hoshimi Miyabi: How's it looking?
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): I've already got some useable exit routes, the nearest one is—

Repair the Scabbard
The following is recorded in the Video Archive
"Repair the Scabbard"Video Summary: The basics of being a Proxy must not be forgotten.
Story Description: Hoshimi Miyabi remains tight-lipped about the blade, but after discussing the matter, she agrees to let you find a temporary solution to quell the scabbard's mutation.
- Soon after, at an unidentified location within the Outer Ring Hollow region...
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): ...
- (Try talking to Miyabi)
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (*ahem* Miss Hoshimi... How are you doing?*ahem* Miss Hoshimi... How are you doing? /
Um, Miss Miyabi...? You good?Um, Miss Miyabi...? You good?) - Hoshimi Miyabi: This is the third time you've asked me that. Why?
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Sorry... It's just that we've gone through something straight out of an action movie. That weird fire tornado couldn't have been good for you, right...?
- Hoshimi Miyabi: I'm fine, no need to worry.
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): But your hair's all singed and curling from the fire?
- Hoshimi Miyabi: ...That's the Hoshimi family's natural curls.
- Hoshimi Miyabi: You don't need to worry about me. I've been through worse situations. An incident like this won't faze me.
- Look! There are sparks coming off your katana!
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Miss (HoshimiHoshimi /
MiyabiMiyabi)! There are sparks coming from your katana! - Hoshimi Miyabi: What—?!
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Sorry, I lied. You don't look very unfazed.
- Hoshimi Miyabi: ...That's not funny. And my response was normal!
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Alright, I just... Miss (HoshimiHoshimi /
MiyabiMiyabi)! Th—There's foxfire on you!!! - Hoshimi Miyabi: Where—?!
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Sorry, I lied again. See? You fell for it twice in (just a fewjust a few) seconds. That's what I call being fazed!
- Hoshimi Miyabi: ...You!
- Hoshimi Miyabi: You keep mocking me. What do you have to say to me?
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Mmm...! I—I just wanted to help you! (I didn't mean anything else!I didn't mean anything else! /
That's all!That's all!) - (ProtagonistProtagonist): The Hoshimi family never makes the same mistake thrice — but you just did. Miss (HoshimiHoshimi /
MiyabiMiyabi), doesn't that mean something's seriously wrong? - The fox Thiren's glare softens, giving away to confusion and a hint of unease.
- Hoshimi Miyabi: ...When my katana was out of control, you rushed into the foxfire without any protection... Why?
- Hoshimi Miyabi: You already figured out where the exit is. You could've left me behind and not worry about getting arrested.
- I'm your Proxy.
- We're partners now.
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Because I'm your Proxy! Even if we're just temporary partners, I promised to get you out, and that's what I'll do!
- Hoshimi Miyabi: ...!
- Miyabi falls silent again, seemingly lost in thought. Then she raises her katana before your eyes.
- Hoshimi Miyabi: This is a Hoshimi family heirloom, wielded by generations to eradicate evil.
- Hoshimi Miyabi: ...It's never misbehaved once since my father made the scabbard for me. Not even deep within Hollow Zero's core.
- Hoshimi Miyabi: I... don't know why it went out of control. Maybe there was some external influence... My father might have the answer, but I can't reach him until we're out of the Hollow.
- Hoshimi Miyabi: Besides, he's likely busy socializing with the mayor today, secretly swapping wine for juice... Reaching him won't be easy.
- Can I please take a look at the katana?
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (Can I please take a look at the katana?Can I please take a look at the katana? /
Mind if I examine your katana?Mind if I examine your katana?) - Hoshimi Miyabi: ...Apart from being a Proxy, you're also a bladesmith?

- (After the cutscene)
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Hmm... the smart data structure of this blade looks really familiar.
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Strange... It's like a labyrinth of Hollow observation data...
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Is it meant to... "trap" something inside the (scabbardscabbard /
sheathsheath)? - Hoshimi Miyabi: So? Do you have a way to fix it?
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (II /

- Hoshimi Miyabi: Er, thank you.
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): The last observation data pile should be nearby.
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Once we find it, I can try adjusting your blade.
- Hoshimi Miyabi: I trust you, Proxy.

- (ProtagonistProtagonist): The last Hollow observation data pile should be behind this door.
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): I'll use it to adjust the (scabbardscabbard /

- (Interact with Data Pile)
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Hold on just a moment, Miss (HoshimiHoshimi /

- Hoshimi Miyabi: Thank you! Leave the enemies to me, you go hide.
- (After defeating the enemies)
- Hoshimi Miyabi: My blade seems to be working as normal. You can come out now, Proxy.
- Hoshimi Miyabi: Proxy...?
- (Talk to (ProtagonistProtagonist))
- Hoshimi Miyabi: Proxy! Are you okay?!
- Hoshimi Miyabi: I'm fine... I'm just feeling a bit dizzy.
- Overwhelmed by intense dizziness, the surroundings become blurred before your eyes.
You gradually lose consciousness and fall to the ground...

Story Description: After waking again, you find that you have left the Hollow. But Perlman has been captured by the armed gang...
- A short while later, outside the Hollow somewhere in the wilderness of the Outer Ring...
- The numbness from the rapid corruption gradually subsides, and your senses are slowly coming back.
- Billy: You're... awake? You're awake! Manager's awake!
- Nicole: Phew! You're finally awake! I'm so tired...! Anby? Star student? Are you guys okay?
- Anby: *Calming exhale*... I'm okay. Nekomata, there's some water inside the suitcase, can you grab one for me?
- (SiblingSibling): (WiseWise /
BelleBelle)!!! You're finally awake! How are you feeling? Do your eyes still hurt? (Is anywhere else hurting?Is anywhere else hurting? / Are you injured anywhere else?Are you injured anywhere else?) - What happened to me?
- Are we out of the Hollow?
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Huh, my ocular implants are working again...? I feel... dizzy. I have a headache and my chest hurts, and it feels like my face and mouth are burning... Is this real? Am I out of the Hollow?
- Nicole: Welcome back to the real world. You made it out! If you'd stayed unconscious any longer, your sibling would've yeeted my butt into the Hollow!
- Fairy: Welcome back, Master. I have calibrated your smart ocular implants via my first assistant, Eous. Approximately half an hour ago, the head of Section 6, Hoshimi Miyabi, pulled you out of the northwest side of the Outer Ring Hollow.
- Fairy: Initial test results indicate that you were exposed to an extremely dangerous level of Ether energy, triggering partial corruption.
- Fairy: After leaving the Hollow, the rejection reaction caused further complications, with a brief cardiac arrest being the most severe. Thankfully, the Cunning Hares and Section 6 provided professional emergency resuscitation...
- Nicole: O-Okay, okay! We just gave you some emergency care to pull you back from the brink, no need to get into the details! You'd better see a doctor for a more thorough anti-corruption treatment after this.
- Have you made up with Section 6, Nicole?
- Where's Hoshimi Miyabi?
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): ...Are you and Section 6 on good terms now, Nicole? And where's Miss (HoshimiHoshimi /
MiyabiMiyabi)? Is she okay? - Right at that moment, a cool, familiar voice spoke up from behind.
- Hoshimi Miyabi: I'm fine, don't worry about me. And I mean it this time.
- Asaba Harumasa: As expected of the Chief~ Busting out of a Hollow carrying someone affected by corruption, and showing no symptoms herself!
- Tsukishiro Yanagi: Asaba, did you get the captives to talk?
- Asaba Harumasa: Yeah, they confessed, but nothing too helpful. The only thing we know for sure is that our guess was right...
- Did I skip an episode or something?
- What's going on?
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Hang on, what are you guys talking about? I'm not following.
- Nicole: I'll fill you in. After your car crashed into the Hollow, we got surrounded by those heavily armed mercenaries and had to take them out first. During the fight, we ran into the remaining Section 6 members.
- Soukaku: The bad guys were chasing after us, and we were chasing after Chief Miyabi! She went into a Hollow, and we bumped into the Cunning Hares!
- Nicole: It was a tough situation, so we joined forces to take down the mercenaries. Just when we were ready to head into the Hollow to find you, Section 6 got a message from Miyabi saying you were with her, and that you were in danger.
- Nicole: We hurried over here and found you lying on the ground, and Miyabi...
- Hoshimi Miyabi: You can skip that part.
- Nicole: Hmm? What, are you embarrassed? That's not very like you, fox~
- Hoshimi Miyabi: ...If you keep talking, I'll tell everyone how you performed the emergency medical care.
- Nicole: Uhh... Fine, fine. Long story short, we rushed over and saved you.
- Nicole: This fox even agreed to hold off on arresting you until further investigation is complete, and she'd cooperate with you as an ally until then. You know the rest.
- What was about the captives you just mentioned?
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Hold on... What was that about the captives you just mentioned?
- Nicole: We needed to pry some answers from the captives, because...
- Tsukishiro Yanagi: Perlman, the key witness in the Vision scandal, was in the same vehicle as you.
- Tsukishiro Yanagi: After the crash, you got thrown into the Hollow, and Perlman was captured by the mercenaries that attacked us.
- Nicole: Damn... I guess we got set up after all.
- Nicole: Perlman's gone missing. We need to find out where he is.
- Nicole: Proxy, it's dangerous around here, and you've been corrupted by Ether. Why don't you head back to Sixth Street to recover?
- Nicole: As for gathering intelligence, just leave it to that battlecrazed fox! If we give it a little more time, that captive will definitely crack.
- Piper: Folks... times a tickin'.
- Piper: Boss just notified me that a big ol' pack of mercs is heading our way.
- Nicole: Huh, are they chasing us that quickly?
- Piper: Don't worry Nicole. Boss said that the Sons of Calydon'll never let those guys run wild in the Outer Ring.
- Piper: No matter how many people come, we'll pack em' up and send em' on their way...
- Billy: N—Nicole! I was wondering if I could...
- Nicole: You want to help Caesar and the others, right? No need to be so shy!
- Billy: *sob* Nicole, you really understand me! Don't worry, I swear on the name of the Starlight Knights, I won't let you down!
- Nicole: Good, then let's split up and take action!
- Nicole: Sons of Calydon will take on the mercenaries coming after us, while Anby, Nekomata, and I will distract the nearby enemies to cover Proxy's drive back to the city.
- Nicole: Proxy, you don't need to worry about us. Once we wrap things up here, we'll get in touch with you!
- (SiblingSibling): (WiseWise /
BelleBelle)! You're back... I'm so glad... - (Belle heaves a sigh of relief, revealing a hint of fear.Belle heaves a sigh of relief, revealing a hint of fear. /

- Don't worry, I'm back!
- (SiblingSibling): Yeah... I'm so glad you returned safely. I can't even begin to think (aboutabout) what I'd do if something (reallyreally) happened (to you, bro...to you, bro... /
to you...to you...) - How's the situation in the Outer Ring?
- (SiblingSibling): Don't worry. Nicole said that the Sons of Calydon have it under control. Those mercenaries are retreating now.
- (SiblingSibling): She's contacted Section 6 and everyone is safe.
- (SiblingSibling): Section 6 also got more intel out of those ambushers... Their hideout should be near the Ballet Twins.
- (SiblingSibling): With the Public Security election just around the corner, the city's security measures will tighten soon. Nicole said we need to come up with a solid plan of action before then.
- (SiblingSibling): But compared to that, I'm more worried about your health.
- (SiblingSibling): Are you feeling better? Do you need to rest a bit longer?
- Don't worry, I'm perfectly fine!
- (SiblingSibling): Got it... I'll contact Nicole and the others now. (But you have to take care of yourself, Wise!But you have to take care of yourself, Wise! /
