State is already after him. A few more guards arrive on scene to maintain order until everything's calmed down.
Umbra watches the Glitch sprint by.
"Well, he won't come back until he's caught that guy... State tends to be, uh... Extremely committed to his job. I think the reason he's still single is because he married himself to the Guard."
Umbra chuckles at his joke that probably wasn't funny at all. "Ahhh... I'm not a funny person."

Zeurei would hear a faint whisper again.

State cuffs the troublemaker and drags him back to the station for questioning.
...Not literally.
