|cardContact=Artem

|story1Summary=Celestine asks Artem and the MC for help with a land transference case in North Stellis -- the owner of "Pop Culture Plaza," Asher "Ash" Siegel, has been impossible to find, leaving his land the last holdout stalling the large-scale North Stellis land reform project. Artem and the MC agree to help find him, going to a nearby mall for costumes so they can better fit in with the culture there. Artem works late reviewing the situation in the area and finds the region is more dangerous than he thought. Wondering whether he should have allowed the MC to come along, he calls Darius to make unknown arrangements. The next day, the two arrive at the plaza. Artem quickly realizes all the merchant stalls in the area are temporary, so his plan to approach the merchants to find the owner through their rental arrangements won't work.

|story2Summary=The merchants' responses are so well-coordinated that it seems like they're hiding Ash on purpose. A skateboarding teen approaches the pair after a while, suggesting that Ash can usually be found in a back alley. Artem tries to check the alley alone, but the MC insists on coming along. After arriving in the empty alley, a gang of skateboarding teens surrounds the pair, circling them menacingly and brandishing makeshift weapons. Before the situation turns serious, a young man named Diego interrupts the scene, criticizing the teens for ganging up on the attorneys and reminding them of the "rules of the square." Diego sneers that the developers have sent in lawyers since violence hasn't worked, then tells Artem and the MC to leave, as their home will never be sold and outsiders can't understand. Artem lists a litany of safety issues, both personal and public, that could be addressed by the project, then offers to do whatever it takes to understand Diego's point of view and convince him of their sincerity. Diego challenges Artem to a game of one-on-one basketball. When Artem agrees to the game, the MC withholds her doubts and resolves to cheer him on.

|story3Summary=The game opens on even footing after Diego underestimates Artem's ability. Seeing that the entire plaza is rooting for Diego, the MC borrows a loudspeaker to cheer Artem on. As Diego tries to psych Artem out about his great defense, Artem fakes a shot to bait him into making a move, then scores the winning point. A teen nicknamed "Buzzie" claims the match was unfair because Diego fought off a gang the night before. Keeping his word regardless, Diego quietly reveals himself to be Ash, explaining that he doesn't want to sell but promising to consider it while the attorneys take a walk and explore the area. While they do, Artem tells the MC that his father taught him to play basketball, and he asks her to come and meet his father the next time they play together.

|story4Summary=Buzzie, who is currently coaching a group of children in basketball, calls the attorneys over. He talks to them about what the community bond that basketball has brought to everyone who lives there, and he explains that if Diego is willing to play with someone, that person must be good. Through the conversation, the MC understands what the square means to everyone there -- hope, freedom, and recognition -- and why they don't want to sell. Artem disagrees, saying the square won't necessarily change after a sale as long as the people who live there don't change, and he resolves to find a win-win solution. The two select a popular milk tea stand to try, getting in line before they realize it specializes in a couple's drink. The MC gets embarrassed at the intimacy of sharing a straw with Artem. Suddenly, a group of ruffians arrives and demands the stall move to accommodate the approaching demolition of the square.

|story5Summary=Artem stands up for the milk tea stall owner, warning the new arrivals of the legal consequences of their actions. When they try to bribe Artem, he warns that he'll report the bribery to the authorities, which escalates the situation to violence as the ruffians begin to smash everything in the square. The milk tea stall owner hands Artem a baseball bat and recommends he hide with the MC. Artem directs her to call Darius, but halfway through her report, Diego arrives and takes her phone away, saying the square solves its conflicts internally. Artem reminds Diego that they live in a society with laws, saying that Diego could lose the things that matter to him, like basketball, if he resorts to vigilantism. The violent gang begins to win the battle, subduing Diego as Artem protects the MC from flying shattered glass. Artem tries to leave the MC behind to solve the crisis, but the MC insists on going with him.

|story6Summary=The ruffians demand that Diego and Buzzie tell them where Ash is; Artem stalls them, warning against further violence with more legal threats, until Darius arrives and arrests everyone present. At the police station, Darius reassures the attorneys that the residents of the square will be released, while the thugs will be investigated and prosecuted. Celestine comments that the guys from the square see Artem as one of them and apologizes for giving them a case that turned violent. She tells Artem and the MC that Ash has asked for them to represent his side of the land sale, and that since this would be a conflict of interest, Celestine has introduced the buyer to a different law firm and let her case go. Outside the station, Artem and Diego discuss their plans to make the sale work for everyone, such as reduced rent for the current vendors. Artem drops the MC off at home, and the two make plans to see the square again after its development.
