After Saati illegally increased Hitoshi's bank holdings, Hitoshi sent her to fix the mistake before it was found. Accessing the bank via Cyberspace Saati managed to fix the error but had a close encounter with the bank's electronic security in the process.
Later on, after Saati had forgotten to pay various bills, Forty Namba also visited the bank via Cyberspace to send the bills before power was shut off to their residence.
Concept Design[]
