I'm not sure if this is common knowledge or not, but I recently found this new thing on another playthrough.
I had worked my first day moving crates at Worker's Pier after Joy took me there, and I was supposed to find out how to get to the Yan Tin Apartments in the South Carmain Qr. I had asked the Come Over Guest House guy, but I decided to return to Aberdeen before proceeding.
Anyway... I remembered the disturbance I had caused over at the Lai Lai Eatery earlier when I was looking for Wong (who had stolen the bag at the time), so I went back to the employees at the Eatery to see if they were still upset at me. Ryo had actually apologized on a previous visit, but I wondered if I could apologize again considering I damaged the place twice - once when I knocked over some patrons during a failed Chase QTE and later when I tore the place apart fighting free-battle with Sam and Larry.
So, I went over to talk to the young hostess who I'd noticed Ryo had some kind of special connection with (if you talked to her enough, she'd ask you what kinds of things were popular in Japan.) Anyway... Ryo starting apologizing again for causing the shop such a problem, and she said not to worry. However, Ryo kept pressing on about how sorry he was, and how we wanted to compensate her. Suddenly, an Action Selector popped up that allowed me to select "Compensate" or "No". I chose to, and I gave the girl $30 of the little money I had. She reluctantly accepted, and then she gave me the bronze medallion!
Is this the only way to get that, or is this some kind of alternate way I stumbled onto?
