Two Hearts

Two Hearts.png

Enter the sunroom via the door in Caroline's kitchen between 9am and 5pm on a day when it's not raining

Details 
Sunroom interior

Caroline is excited to show you her new "private" sunroom. She asks what you think of it.

Caroline continues telling you how peaceful her sunroom sanctuary is, and offers you a cup of her home-grown Green Tea. You can choose "yes" or "no" without penalty. In either case, a surrealistic cutscene plays, after which Caroline says "Feel free to come here and relax any time you want, okay?"

The sunroom is then unlocked and can be visited any time the house is open. Inside is a Tea Bush that can be harvested to obtain Tea Leaves once each day, during the last week of any season.

The next day, Caroline sends a letter in the mail with the Tea Sapling recipe attached.

Six Hearts

Six Hearts.png

Enter Pierre's General Store when Caroline and Abigail are there.

Details 
As you enter the store, you hear an argument between Caroline and Abigail in the kitchen.
  • Abigail: "Stop telling me how to live my life!"
  • Caroline: "Hey, cut it out! We're letting you live here free of charge until you finish school. It seems like you don't appreciate that at all!"
  • Abigail: "Stop trying to make me feel guilty. I appreciate that you and Dad are helping me out, but expecting me to dress the way you want is ridiculous. I'm not a little girl anymore, Mom."
  • Caroline: (pause) "...You're right. I'm sorry."

Abigail turns towards the door where you're hiding, and asks if someone is there. You run away, and Abigail swears the house is haunted. Abigail comes out, and says "Urgghh... Sorry... I was fighting with my Mom earlier."

Seven Hearts

Quotes

Regular 

First Meeting

“Hello! You must be [Player], the new farmer. I'm Caroline. My husband runs the general store here. And have you met my daughter, Abigail? She's the pale one with the purple hair.”

Regular

“I wish Abby wouldn't spend so much time in her room.”
“I've seen wild horseradish in the forest. Foraging can be a fun way to earn some cash. Or you can use what you find as gifts or food.”
“Hi there. Do you have everything you need for the farm? If not, we might be able to help you out. We carry a variety of useful items.”
“Hmmm... I wonder if I can get Pierre to cook dinner tonight.”
“Hmmm... what am I going to make for dinner tonight? Maybe I'll just get take-out from the Saloon.”
“It's a fine-looking day. On days like this I like to help Evelyn with the public gardens. She's strong for her age, but I think she appreciates all the help she can get.”
“Is it just me, or does Abigail have an unhealthy interest in doom and gloom? Maybe I'm just too old to understand.”
“Abby's always had a strange interest in the occult. I'm not sure where she gets it from...”
“Today I'm just going to relax and think positively. Do you ever take a day off?”

If sold low quality crops to Pierre

“Oh, [Player]... This is embarrassing. I threw one of your [items] you sold us into my compost bin. Now the whole thing smells horrendous. Where did you find that thing again?”

If sold high quality crops to Pierre

“Oh, [Player]... This is embarrassing. I threw one of your [items] you sold us into my compost bin. But on the bright side, the worms are really loving it! They've never looked happier!”

Player married to Abigail

“Hi, [Player]. Are you enjoying the married life? I hope so!”
“Dinner's been a lot quieter since Abigail moved out... No, not because she used to chew with her mouth open!”
“How's Abigail's health? She's always been such a pale girl. Hopefully the farm lifestyle puts a little color in her cheeks.”
“Abby was taking online classes here, but I don't think her heart was really in it... She's a free spirit, like I was before I met Pierre. She's probably having the time of her life on your farm.”

6+ Hearts

“When we first moved here, I took a while to settle down... I wasn't ready for the domestic life. Pierre's a bit traditional... but he's a good man. He's ambitious, but he always puts his family first.”
“Stardew Valley is nice, but I wish I knew more people. I'm glad that we've become friends.”
“Time seems to go by faster and faster the older you get...”
“You know, I used to want to be a farmer myself. Well, more like a rancher. I always loved movies about the wild west when I was a girl.”
“Are you excited for the new year? I predict that you'll be super-successful on your farm.”

8+ Hearts

“When we first moved to Pelican Town I would take secret walks to the Wizard's Tower. Don't tell Pierre, he has jealousy issues. Abigail was born about a year after we moved to Pelican Town. I wonder if she'll ever experience life outside the valley?”

Summer

“On Wednesdays the shop is closed. Keep that in mind if you're going to need anything.”
“I've been seeing wild fruits in the forest lately. Foraging can be a fun way to earn some cash. Or you can use what you find as gifts or food.”
“Hi there. Do you have everything you need for the farm? If not, we might be able to help you out. We carry a variety of useful items.”
“Is it just me, or does Abigail look a little pale? Maybe I'm just worrying about her too much.”
“Time seems to go by faster and faster the older you get...”

Fall

“Fall is Abby's favorite season, so I'm hoping she'll come out of her room more often.”
“I've seen edible mushrooms in the forest. Foraging can be a fun way to earn some cash. Or you can use what you find as gifts or food.”
“Is it just me, or does Abigail play too many video games? Maybe I'm a little old-fashioned.”

Winter

“Winter is harsh, but you can dig up some roots if you're lucky. Foraging can be a fun way to earn some cash. Or you can use what you find as gifts or food.”
“Even though it's cold, I still check on the public garden beds every now and then. I just want to make sure they aren't damaged too much before spring returns.”
“Don't you think Abby would look better with her natural hair color? She used to have light chestnut-colored hair.”

Sundays when the townsfolk are using the altar room

“It was the previous owners who built the altar room. We aren't religious, but we let the other townsfolk use it if they want.”
