============================

After seeing Kevin off, you wandered around the city once more.
Walking down the sidewalk, you just had finished up your candy you had when you and Kevin bumped into each other.

You stopped to a convenience store which was coincidentally in front of you to buy one pack of jaw breakers to smack on.
After leaving the store, it was a good time to try and find Kiana.

Y/n: "Alright, let's get started."

This city was overly massive.
When you first got here before, it wasn't like any other place that you imagined to be.
You actually thought that patrolling and investigation in this city was a piece of cake.

You knew big areas.
On missions, there would be areas that were twice as large as one supermarket by itself. Those big areas were very compatible for you to not just patrol around, but also have a bunch of space for combat.
But on the other hand, It took you almost a decade to just get used to this huge, oversized, sprawling cybernetic city.
First half of patrolling in the city costed you half a day, second half costed another.
Well, if you had an assist drone, mapping out the area, where to and not to go and storing information would've been so much easier for you.

As a result of pushing yourself all little too far, that made you super exhausted to the point where you caught a cold on the third day coming here.
You had to rent out an hotel room for two days to make sure you took care of yourself and be in better full condition before you left out again.

But since being here in the city for at least a few weeks, you were already used to how large this place was.
You were also able to complete the map and have it mapped out on your phone so you can memorize how the city is and how it looked.

Y/n: "Welp, time to get another cold, huh?
Y/n: "To be honest, I don't want that happening again.
Y/n: "I just wondered why I didn't unregister an assist drone before leaving the base?"
Y/n: "I wouldn't be in this mapping mess in the first place if I only registered one."
Y/n: "It would've done its job seconds ago."
Y/n: "I regret not asking Einstein or Tesla to making one for me before."

Complaining kept you company while trying to figure out which is the best place to search for Kiana.

Y/n: "Hmm..."
Y/n: "If I were to look for Kiana, where would be the best place to go?"

You sketched at the map carefully as you were thinking of alternatives of where to look for a certain girl.

Y/n: "I want to guess that she is hiding herself by blending with people walking around, so let's start with places that has a crowd of people."

But, your inner voice was telling you something...
Y/n: 'If I do meet her again, what will I say to her?'

Y/n: "..."
You shake your head...

Y/n: "Mopping around won't do anything."
Y/n: "Let's go."

There were 2 places named ARC1 and ARC2: Heliopolis in your mobile map that were known to be the largest places with tall buildings and crowds.
You decided to go to ARC2 first.
ARC2 was a bit smaller than ARC1 and you thought maybe checking out small places may be better than to try looking in bigger places.
