Check the DM from Seth[]
Manager, I have a favor to ask!
I'd like to rent a super old tape, I wonder if you guys have it
REPLYWe've got a professional collection of vintage films from the past thirty years
It's the new movies you have to wonder whether or not we stock them...
Great!
Actually it's a really famous one. It's called "The Big Hollow," you've surely seen it!
REPLYCouldn't miss it if I tried
Oh, that one. I wouldn't open this store without having seen that... Yes, we've definitely got it but I just have to check out the condition of the tape ribbon. When will you be coming over?
I've never watched it...
Oh, that one... It's a classic but I've been putting it off this whole time...
But we should have that tape here, I'll put it out. What time are you coming by? I'll watch it before you arrive

Give the videotape to Seth[]

- Seth: The manager seems to be really close to (his sisterhis sister /
her brotherher brother)...
- (Talk to Seth)
- Seth: Manager, I'm here to rent a tape.
You're earlier than I would have expected.- I thought you'd come after finishing work late at night.
- Seth: Yeh, I left work a little early today, seeing as I needed to come to Sixth Street to borrow a tape before heading that way home.
- That way...?
- Seth: Oh? Did I not mention it to you?
The following is recorded in the Partner Archive
Family Movie NightStory Description: Seth comes to the video store to borrow a videotape for the "Weekday Family Event." He mentions his unique relationship with his brother with you. Hearing this, you're somewhat impressed. Hopefully, you won't encounter his strict older brother in the future...
- Seth: I usually stay at the dorm nearby so that I can train longer. I only go home on weekends.
- To spend time with your family?

- Seth: Well... It isn't exactly taboo. My family's pretty ordinary — just myself, my parents, and my older brother... My brother's rarely at home though.
- Seth: *sigh*...

Seems like everyone find their older brother annoying, which means my family is normal.
- Seth: Though, I didn't always dislike my brother. We used to watch "The Big Hollow" together when we were kids. We'd even memorize the protagonist's lines.
- Seth: But that was a long time ago, now all he does is call me simple-minded and self-righteous!
- Hmm, are those kinds of things okay to say to a younger brother?
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (Uh... Your brother calls you simple-minded and self-righteous? I definitely wouldn't speak to Belle like that.Uh... Your brother calls you simple-minded and self-righteous? I definitely wouldn't speak to Belle like that. /

- I feel bad for Seth...
- I might have accidentally made things worse between Seth and his brother...

I can understand now why you dislike your brother so much... Ah! I'm not trying to stir the pot!) - (ProtagonistProtagonist): What about "The Big Hollow?" You mentioned earlier that it was your childhood favorite.
- Seth: Yeah! I'm a huge fan of that rookie investigator! Despite everyone saying that the disaster was unbeatable and he wouldn't be able to do anything about it, he never gave up. That's what a real hero of justice looks like!
- That protagonist seems to be quite simple-minded too.
- The worldview of that movie is too complicated for its own good...
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Come to think of it, I remember the rookie investigator being described as a simple-minded person by other characters in the movie too. (ButBut /
YetYet), I think that movie needs a protagonist like that when its worldview is so complicated... - (ProtagonistProtagonist): (The Hollow in that movie is like some sort of sci-fi fantasy alternate dimension, something that can only be explained by metaphysics.

The Hollow in that movie is reality-defying sci-fi nonsense. They might be bizarre, but even Hollows need to follow some basic rules of physics and logic.The Hollow in that movie is reality-defying sci-fi nonsense. They might be bizarre, but even Hollows need to follow some basic rules of physics and logic.) - Seth: Oh? Do you know a lot about Hollows?
- Seth: No wonder you're such a pro. A real film buff makes sure to do their research on the movies they watch!
- ...
- Yep, I've done a lot of homework.
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (...Haha, you're right. I've done some research because "The Big Hollow" has such a complicated background......Haha, you're right. I've done some research because "The Big Hollow" has such a complicated background... /
...Um, haha, yeah, I've done some research because "The Big Hollow" has such a complicated background......Um, haha, yeah, I've done some research because "The Big Hollow" has such a complicated background...) - Seth: I couldn't totally understand everything they said in that movie when I was little, but there's one line from the protagonist that really stuck with me: "No matter what, you can never go wrong saving someone."
- Seth: When my brother became a Public Security officer, I thought he would become a hero who fights for justice and protects the innocent, just like what he pledged to do when we were little...
- Seth: But now...
- Seth: Well, it doesn't matter. I'll become more capable than my brother one day and prove that he only sees me as "simple-minded" because he's lost touch with what's right.
- Seth: When I get home tonight, I want to see if he still remembers the lines he memorized back then!
- Huh? I thought your brother wasn't home.
- Huh? I thought you hated your brother?
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Huh? Your brother's at home today? (And you're renting the movie to watch with him? Didn't you just say you hate him...And you're renting the movie to watch with him? Didn't you just say you hate him... /
And you're going to watch the movie with him? Didn't you just say you hate that guy?And you're going to watch the movie with him? Didn't you just say you hate that guy?) - Seth: ...Weekends are family days. I suggested we spend some time watching a movie together.
- Seth: I do hate him, but it's not like I've cut him out of my life. I can't exactly separate myself from him during family gatherings, now can I?
- Did you pick this movie...
- Because you wanted your brother to watch it?
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Umm, did you pick this movie specifically because your brother is coming back for the first time in years?
- Seth: ...It's for family day, and my parents are going to watch it too! My brother doesn't even care about our family, but if I left him out I'd be making the same mistake as him.
- Seth: I refuse to be like him!
- Sure, if that's what you think.
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (It's good to have a routine that lets you spend quality time with family, and I hope you guys enjoy the movie. Don't forget to spread the word about our video store.

- Seth: Um, I—I'm gonna go now. It's a pretty long way back home. Catch you later!
- Seth leaves in a hurry... You wonder if there's a chance you'll meet his big brother in the future.
From the sound of it, he holds a lot of power in Public Security, so maybe it's better not to cross paths...
- (Seth can now promote the video store)
