If Ryo Hazuki approaches Hokuhoku Lunches at the New Yokosuka Harbor District after he learns he can't enter the Old Warehouse District during the daytime due to the heavy security, a cutscene will trigger with Mai being rude to her sister who runs the lunch stand Hisaka Sawano. After Mai calls her a "prude" she walks over to Rena and Yumiko. Hisaka reveals to Ryo that Mai has been hanging out with a bad crowd and has been treating her family bad. Hisaka will then ask Ryo to talk to her and if he accepts, he will find Mai hanging out with Rena and Yumiko. This triggers a Quick Time Event battle with Rena and Yumiko. If Ryo defeats them, he knocks them out each with a chop to the neck, and tells Mai that she shouldn't treat her sister badly. If Ryo loses, the girls attack him with their weapons and leave him on the ground unconscious and walk away. Mai will then show concern for Ryo. After this, Masayuki Fukuhara takes an injured Ryo to his room and tells him to take it easy and rest for the remainder of the day.

Rena and Yumiko can also be encountered in free quest and if Ryo tries to talk to them, they'll be very rude to him and tell him to go away. During nighttime in Dobuita, they can be seen hanging out with Akio Enoki and Tetsuya Nagashima at their hangout area by the apartment complex near the entrance to Dobuita.
