## Plot

Waking up from unconsciousness, the player is greeted by Rhea and Juan, who are making sure they are okay, with Juan commenting on the destruction of the court. Alita would walk over carrying Javier and Rosa out of the rubble, with Javier badly injured and Rosa a bit banged up but okay. Axelle and Pedro would then arrive and fret about the welfare of both Chief Mendes, Bonita and Francesco, leading Rhea and the player to rush into the rubble and find the body of hunter Ellis Noivern, who had been shot in the chest with an arrow, leading the duo to start a murder investigation despite the circumstances.

Mid investigation, Chief Mendes and Francesco were reported to be alright, while Bonita and Judge Delarosa were hospitalised. Later, Max Mandelio suffered a panic attack after having previously visited the sight of the explosion, leading Alita to go off the case to take care of him. Even later, hunters Rue Jenkins and Cassandra Blackmoor got in a fight about the case. After all of the events, Rhea and the player finally arrested another hunter, Lorna Hunter for the murder.

Lorna would vehemently deny the accusations, before admitting to the crime and stating that she actually did it to help the police. Lorna would go on to recant that she had seen Ellis leave the court mid-trial and followed him, seeing him press the detonator and run away from the explosion. However, Lorna would call his name and yell at him, leading for him to threaten her with a nearby pipe that had fallen. Lorna would then, in self defence and out of pure anger at Ellis, shoot him with an arrow. At the makeshift court, Chief Mendes sentenced Lorna to 5 years in prison pending further investigation.

Post-case, Rhea and the player would visit Adora Mandelio to see how Max was doing following his panic attack. Adora would say that Max was fine and Alita was with him, before asking the player to help her find something that Max had dropped while looking at the rubble. Upon discovering it, Adora and the player were shocked to learn that it was a note from Max coming out as homosexual and genderfluid. Adora would then inform Alita of the discovery, and both were accepting as they looked after Max.

Meanwhile, Axelle and the player would go see Bonita and Andrea in hospital, only to learn that Andrea was in surgery. Bonita, however, would suggest that to help investigate Lorna, they look at the remains of the court's interior, leading Axelle and the player to discover a phone that belonged to Ellis, saying that the 'grizzly' had ordered them to blow up the court, verifying Lorna's motive and allowing her trial to be set. Axelle and the player would then speak to both Bonita and Lorna regarding the crime, and Chief Mendes impulsively decided to let Lorna off with a pardon for actually helping the police, in return for becoming a central informant for the department.

After all of the events, the team would gather at Bonita's bedside to discuss the previous events, with Francesco requesting to speak with both Rhea and Alita privately. Meanwhile, Axelle and the player would celebrate Bonita's wellness and Lorna becoming an informant, before the doctor entered the room and informed them that Judge Delarosa had died in surgery, giving the detectives a renewed determination to find the 'Grizzly'.
