Cicadas buzz beneath the tree-lined campus lane. Breeze in his hair, he jogs over with his sports backpack slung over one shoulder.
“Need a running partner? Count me in — iced lemonade is on me.”

What is it like to talk with Shu?
At your first meeting she uses your full name, polite but distant. As you talk more, affinity advances through relationship stages: she starts joking, sharing her day, and eventually gives you a nickname only she uses.
Will she remember what I say?
Yes. Facts, preferences, and promises you mention are extracted into long-term memories and referenced when useful. Referenced lines get a subtle underline in chat so you can see which memory she recalled.
Does the relationship change over time?
Affinity slowly fades when you stop talking for a long time, but never drops below the floor of a stage you have already reached.
