Hana Association seems to have taken an interest in the Library and the Blue Reverberation—the two entities at the center of all the problems that have been happening in L Corp’s Nest lately—now that they’ve marked their presence in the City’s sky as Stars. I asked a Color who happens to be a friend of mine about it… and he said the Association’s going to recruit him to hunt down the Blue Reverberation and his cohorts soon. They’ve been making quite a scene in L Corp’s Nest… In particular, the lives of many Syndicates, Fixers, and residents close to the Library were lost to their hands, so the Association couldn’t just sit and watch anymore. They’ve apparently set up a camp at the door of the Library, though no one knows what they’re waiting for. A couple other things I heard are that all sorts of sounds and noises are coming from that camp… and that a large number of firearms belonging to the Thumb were abandoned on the ground. Maybe they launched an assault on the Syndicate while it was still struggling to recover from the loss of the Underboss and his Capos. The ensemble’s not like most Syndicates just trying to make money off the turf of the wingless Nest, that’s for sure… But we still don’t know what their goals really are, and I can’t shake this bad feeling.
Anyways, since I was asked to pay a visit to the Library… It’ll be worth investigating the case some more after I get this job done.

Combat Entrance
Is this the Library? It’s as strange as the others said.
Let’s see… Are you gonna be my opponent?
There’s no need to hurry. Let’s take our time to get started.
Victory Cry
Hm, this might prove to be useful intel.
Death
Hah, so this is a Star of the City, huh… It’s no pushover…
On Ally Death
…
On Kill
It can be inconvenient at times, but I still prefer to take care of things on my own.
This might get tricky… Time to get a bit more serious.
This is gonna end soon. Let’s chop the rest of this up now.
…I think I’ve seen that move before somewhere.
These guys are more interesting than I thought…
Trivia
His name is taken from Project Moon character designer Kim Dong-hwan.[1]
He was originally supposed to appear much earlier in the game as a "Very Strong Grade 6 Fixer", but due to him not being a focus, he was moved farther back and given a higher grade.[2]
↑"Library of Ruina Artbook Volume II, Developer Comments. "When the time came to rename the character, [Dong-hwan] got my name since I was in charge of his design."
↑Library of Ruina Artbook Volume II, Developer Comments. "Dong-hwan the Grade 1 Fixer was originally going to be a 'Very Strong Grade 6 Fixer'. But, we had to keep our focus on the main story and delay implementation again and again, and as a result, he made his appearance much later in the game with a higher grade."
