HORSE RACE
- You will do 3 trips to Bob before sleeping through the Spring mild/rainy season; the third day is guaranteed due to 1-heart CS
- Ideally, you get the Thu interaction on Spring 4, but if you lose it to rain (due to rain on Spring 3+4), then doubletalk on Spring 25
- Spring 2:
	> Put the horse out to pasture
	> Ride to Brownie Farm and weed intro+gift Bob
	> Sleep until the next non-rainy day (can take up to 3 days of rain)
- Next non-rainy day:
	> Heal horse if necessary
	> Gift+talk Bob
- Next day:
	> 1-heart CS
	> Talk+gift Bob in his barn or gift+talk in his shop
	> Sleep until Spring 25
- Spring 25:
	> 2-heart CS
	> Talk+gift Bob in his barn
	> If you lost Spring 4 to rain, wait outside the barn after gifting until Bob exits and doubletalk him
- Spring 26-30: Gift+talk Bob in his shop; BUY ANIMAL MEDICINE!!! if you used it
- Summer 1: Sleep (skipping Wed)
- Summer 2: Talk+gift Bob in his barn
- Summer 3:
	> Win the race
	> Sleep 7 times
- Summer 10:
	> Bob's reminder
	> Sleep 7 times
- Summer 17: Exit for race
- Summer 18: Exit to finish the ending
- If you get unlucky with rain early in the Summer mild season, can use Animal Medicine for safety

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ENDANGERED WEASEL
- Spring 2: Sleep until Spring 21
- Spring 21: Exit for horse death
- Spring 22: Intro+gift Gwen, regardless of rain
- Gift+talk Gwen everyday except non-rainy Tue/Thu
- Spring 25: Intro+gift each of the sprites in their burrow
- On Summer 2, visit sprites in their burrow again and talk+gift all
- Gwen needs 18 interactions (intro+17)
- CS1 will trigger on the next non-rainy day after both Sprite interactions and 5 interactions with Gwen
- CS2 will trigger outside after 8 interactions with Gwen
- CS3 will trigger outside after 13 interactions with Gwen; meet at the Goddess pond that night at 7pm
- CS5 will trigger outside after 18 interactions with Gwen; meet at the Goddess pond that night at 7pm
- Sleep 7 times and exit to finish the ending

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

FISHY STORY
- Spring 2: Sleep
- Gift+talk Joe and Kurt every non-Tue/Thu at the carpenter's area; intro+gift both
- After 8 interactions with Joe, on the next non-rainy Tue/Thu:
	> Talk+gift Joe at the lake (in that order)
	> Catch 4 fish
	> Exit/re-enter via the Goddess pond (skip Goddess CS)
	> Skip CS, then reload via Goddess pond again for next CS
	> Head home and sleep
- On the next non-rainy Mon/Fri:
	> Buy the S.F. Rod from Louis (~20s after Louis enters)
	> Gift+talk Kurt
	> Catch 6 Fish L
	> Trigger the nighttime Joe CS between 7pm and 9pm with at least 8 total fish (nightfall is 7pm in Spring, 8pm in Summer)
	> Finish up Fish L after Joe CS if necessary
	> Head home and sleep
- On the next Tue/Thu, enter the carpenter's area for sprite/Woody CS
- After the sprite CS and 12 interactions with Kurt, the next time you exit the house will be Kurt's request
- After the request, give Kurt 10 Herbs (in addition to the daily gift+talk)
- Talk, no gift on the last (15th) Kurt trip
- At least 3 days after the herb day, and after 15 interactions with Kurt:
	> Exit the house in the morning to get special rod
	> Wait until nightfall and catch the Silver Fish
	> Sleep 7 times and exit to finish the ending
- SAFETY SAVE!!! the night before you plan to catch the Silver Fish
- Ideally, you will get the special rod on Spring 29 or 30, but depending on rain luck, it's not likely; if it's already Summer, then sleep until Summer 14 or 15 for the full moon to improve fishing odds
- According to the Japanese guidebook, you can catch the fish as early as 1 hour before nightfall, i.e., from 6pm in Spring, from 7pm in Summer
- To calculate the time on the fly:
	> Katie enters the cafe ~45s before noon
	> Thus, you can start casting ~3m15s after she enters in Spring, ~3m40s after she enters in Summer
- This means that technically, Spring is better than Summer for Silver Fish, as you get a whole extra hour to try for it (25s in real time)
- In practice, you need very good mild season luck to obtain the special rod by the end of Spring, but it is possible

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

CAKE CONTEST
- Gift+talk Gina every non-rainy Wed/Sat (intro+gift; alternatively, weed intro and skip the doubletalk on the first CS day)
- Gift Gina Golden Milk for the first three trips, then switch to Fish L
- Gift Katie Cheese
- On the first Gina day, weed intro+gift Katie
- On the second Gina day:
	> Gift+talk Gina
	> Doubletalk Gina as she walks towards Ronald's (if you didn't weed intro)
	> Gift+talk Katie, doubletalk her as she walks toward the cafe, then enter the cafe at noon for CS1 (~45s after Katie enters)
	> GET THE RECIPE!!!
- With perfect Spring mild season luck, your 10th Gina day would be on Summer 8
- On the day after your 10th Gina day:
	> Enter the cafe at noon (~45s after Katie enters)
	> Go to the Villa, gift+talk Gina inside, then exit/re-enter to trigger CS
	> Head back to the cafe and enter by 5pm to trigger CS
	> Sleep until the next non-rainy day after the closest full moon (Summer 15/16/30)
- On the day after the full moon:
	> Give Katie the Golden Egg and Golden Milk
	> Enter the cafe at noon and exit/re-enter until the successful cake CS plays
	> Sleep 7 times then exit to finish the ending

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

GODDESS DRESS
- Gift+talk Gina on non-rainy Wed/Sat (weed intro+gift)
- For the first three Gina days, gift Golden Milk, then switch to Fish L for the remainder (less text)
- On the first two Gina days, intro Katie, then gift+talk (Cheese)
- After 3 Gina trips, CS1 will trigger
- On the day of CS2:
	> Gift+talk Gina as usual
	> Enter/exit/re-enter Goddess pond to trigger first Goddess CS
- On the next non-rainy non-Mon/Wed/Sat:
	> Enter Villa area (skip CS)
	> Gift+talk Gina at Villa
	> Buy Silk Thread from Louis (~20s after Louis enters)
	> Enter Goddess pond for next Goddess CS
- After 9 Gina trips and at least 7 sleeps since second Goddess pond CS, you will receive Rainbow Fabric upon sleeping
- Delay giving Gina the Rainbow Fabric until the 15th or 16th interaction, depending on where a convenient Monday will land (ideally in the dry season)
- Delaying the Rainbow Fabric avoids Gina's plot-related text, which is much longer than her normal convo text
- Once you have Rainbow Fabric, on the next non-rainy Mon:
	> Gift+talk Gina at the Villa
	> Doubletalk Gina as she walks towards the door
	> Enter at noon (right when door opens for Dia to come out)
	> Hold start to skip the series of cutscenes
- After 18 interactions and at least 7 sleeps since Villa CS, exit the house for CS
- Sleep 7 times and exit to finish the ending

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

AZURE SWALLOWTAIL
- Spring 2: Intro+gift Lyla
- Lyla needs 9 trips total (non-rainy non-Sun)
- Intro+gift Kurt, and gift+talk twice more, THU ONLY (at Lyla's garden)
- Make sure to save 3 of Lyla's interactions for Thu (combined with Kurt)
- Once you are done with Kurt, then on any non-rainy non-Tue/Thu/Sun:
	> Trigger CS1 at the Carpenter's before gifting Lyla as normal
	> Doubletalk Lyla as she wants to her shop
	> Enter the Flower shop at 9am (~15s after the door closes behind her) to trigger CS2
- Once finished gifting Lyla, sleep until Summer 15
- Summer 15: Exit for CS
- Summer 18:
	> Exit for CS
	> Plant+water Blue Mist
- Summer 19/20: Hope for rain; water if not (or reset)
- Summer 21-26: Sleep through rainy season
- Summer 27: Bloom CS at Goddess pond
- Summer 30: Butterfly CS at Goddess pond
- SAVE AND RELOAD THE DAY BEFORE YOU WOULD FINISH THE ENDING!!! (to avoid credits softloft)
- Fall 7 or later: Finish ending at Goddess pond

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

BLUEBIRD
- Wed trips are ~38s, Sat trips are ~23s
- Sleeping from Wed -> Sat costs ~8s, so strategically skipping Wed can often be worth it (esp. if the Sat is in dry season), but be careful not to lose too many days
- Gift Louis on Wed at the carpenter's area, Sat in Ronald's garden
- Intro+gift, then talk+gift (IN THAT ORDER) 14 more times (15 total interactions)
- On two of the later interactions (once Louis starts giving his extra long textboxes about ancestors, etc.), gift before talking
- After at least 9 interactions:
	> Trigger both of Louis's cutscenes at the lake on a Sat (enter 20s after he disappears)
	> On the cutscene day, doubletalk Louis once as he is walking to the lake
- After 15th interaction, sleep once then do flute minigame
- Sleep at least a week and finish the ending at the lake on the first non-rainy day
