After examining the above objects, end the investigation to trigger a quick dialog event. Exit the room and head to the Rear Area of the Art Gallery. Once there make your way over to the window and examine it. This will trigger a cutscene where you’ll be prompted with two choices: A Peacekeeper and A Detective. Choose the A Peacekeeper option then speak with the staff member for another cutscene.
Having concluded your investigation, your next objective will be to hightail it back to the agency. Please note that once you reach the outside of the agency in Kamasaki District, the game will prompt you that it will be some time until you are able to leave. If you have any remaining requests or Memory Shards to find, now might be a good time to start/finish them up.
