## Introduction

When speaking to Chaem for the first time in a new game

 **Chaem:**You’re the new arrival, huh?
Don’t bother me, and I won’t bother you.
Ha! *Sike!*
Talk to Chaem again
 **Chaem:**You’re in my way.
No, seriously, you are in my way.

#### Any amount of hearts

 **Chaem:**The hot spring is really good for sore muscles. Nothing beats a hot soak after a hard workout.
Saturday, Sunday
 **Chaem:**Zarah was using a metal detector down on the beach the other day, and she found a gold coin.
Talk to Chaem again
 **Chaem:**You think there might be more?
I should invest in a metal detector…

#### Starting with two hearts

 **Chaem:**If Zoe’s serious about volleyball, I’ll take her under my wing.
Talk to Chaem again
 **Chaem:**I was about her age when I started playing. It’s never too early.

#### With less than three hearts

Last dialogue of the day
 **Chaem:**Got business with me?
Last dialogue of the day
 **Chaem:**I can’t chitchat all day.
Talk to someone else, will you?

#### Starting with three hearts

 **Chaem:**I don’t like staying indoors too long, sitting behind a desk. Bah!
Talk to Chaem again
 **Chaem:**The human body was built to move.
 **Chaem:**Stargazing is cool.
Didn’t think so at first, but now I’m living at the observatory, I kinda get it.
Talk to Chaem again
 **Chaem:**You either get it or you don’t.
If you don’t get it, then it’s your loss.
 **Chaem:**I started lifeguarding during my last Summer of high school, before I moved to Coral Island.
I didn’t think I’d still be doing it all these years later, but no complaints.
Talk to Chaem again
 **Chaem:**I only work the afternoon shift, so I have lots of time to practice volleyball.
Gotta keep my eyes on the prize, you know what I mean?
 **Chaem:**I like playing volleyball with Aaliyah.
We both play hard, you know what I mean?
Last dialogue of the day
 **Chaem:**I’m not in the mood.

#### Between three and seven hearts

 **Chaem:**Have you seen that dog running around town? Taco?
I love that scruffy guy.
Talk to Chaem again
 **Chaem:**This one time, I saw Taco swimming in the fountain… Yeah, the one in front of the general store.
What a funny little dude.

#### Starting with four hearts

 **Chaem:**I’m *starving*.
Training always makes you hungry.
Talk to Chaem again
 **Chaem:**Gimme some carbs, you know what I mean? Pizza, pasta, gnocchi…ramen!
I would kill for some ramen right now.
 **Chaem:**Found a pearl on the beach the other day. Not yours, is it?
 **Chaem:**I’ve been swimming for years, but you know what I wish I did more of? Diving.
Talk to Chaem again
 **Chaem:**Maybe I could train to be a deep-sea diver. Who knows?

#### Starting with five hearts

 **Chaem:**Hey, check out my new sneakers! They give me extra spring in my toes. Perfect for volleyball.
Talk to Chaem again
 **Chaem:**I paid way too much for these shoes. Hopefully, they’re going to up my game.
 **Chaem:**Sports teach humility. I like that.
Sometimes we win and sometimes we lose.
Talk to Chaem again
 **Chaem:**So what if you lose? Gotta face it and try again tomorrow.
It’s not the end of the world.
 **Chaem:**I used to swim a lot when I was a kid, but it didn’t grab me. Not competitive enough, I think.
Talk to Chaem again
 **Chaem:**I like playing sports where there are winners and losers.
 **Chaem:**I’ve thought about getting a pet, but between volleyball practice and workouts and work, I’m hardly ever home to take care of one.
I don’t want to stay cooped up in my house like Wakuu, and that’s not fair to a pet.
Talk to Chaem again
 **Chaem:**Unless I brought them out with me. I hadn’t thought about that.

#### Between five and eight hearts

 **Chaem:**I hate to think about getting older.
I’m in the prime of my life, *Player*. I’m in better shape now than I’ve ever been.
Talk to Chaem again
 **Chaem:**But it doesn’t last forever, you know?//You don’t see grandparents competing in the Pokyo Volleyball Tournament.

### Seasonal lines

#### Spring

 **Chaem:**There’s this pink tree next to the hot spring.
Do you know what it is? Cherry, maybe?
Talk to Chaem again
 **Chaem:**It’s pretty, but I’m worried the petals will clog up the drain… *My* drain.
Starting with two hearts
 **Chaem:**The weather is warming up.
If I dressed any warmer, I’d sweat *buckets*.
Starting with five hearts
 **Chaem:**It’s Spring, baby! Time to hit the volleyball court and work off my Winter blues!
Talk to Chaem again
 **Chaem:**I managed to stay in pretty good shape over Winter, but I feel a little off my game, you know?
I’m itching to get in a good workout.
Starting with five hearts
 **Chaem:**You know the plastic rings six-packs come in?
They can kill sea life if they end up in the ocean. It’s so sad.
Talk to Chaem again
 **Chaem:**Don’t forget to properly dispose of six-pack rings after picnics. You hear?

#### Summer

 **Chaem:**There’s usually an influx of people visiting the beach in Summer.
I get it. Summer, beach. Yeah, whatever.
 **Chaem:**I’m seeing more and more people busting out the swimwear.
 **Chaem:**Never buying from White Flamingo again.
Got a new swimsuit and…
Talk to Chaem again
 **Chaem:**I hadn’t even worn it once!
The first wash, and it shrank. Dang it!
 **Chaem:**Who made the sign for the Beach Shack?
The coconut drink signs say buy two, get two. Reminds me of something my dad would say.
At the beach
 **Chaem:**Might stop by the Beach Shack later, pick up some coconuts.
I’m kinda in the mood for one.
Starting with two hearts
 **Chaem:**I might take a class online to learn something new.
Not right now. I’m way too busy. But maybe this Winter, when it’s too cold for volleyball.
Between three and five hearts
 **Chaem:**I’m so itchy today! I’ve got bug bites all over my legs.
The bugs are out in force lately. Great!

#### Fall

Starting with three hearts
 **Chaem:**I cleaned the leaves in front of the bathhouse yesterday, and they’re already piling up again.
Talk to Chaem again
 **Chaem:**Need to find Wakuu. It’s his turn to clear the path for Takeba.
Starting with five hearts
 **Chaem:**Apples are in season, no? Do you have them on your farm, *Player*?
Fall 16–17
 **Chaem:**What’s with the giant chicken they have at the Harvest Festival, huh? So weird!
Talk to Chaem again
 **Chaem:**Where do you think I can get one of those?
Fall 20–24
 **Chaem:**I jacked up my knee yesterday. I slipped on some leaves and fell down the stairs in front of the bathhouse. Bah!
Talk to Chaem again
 **Chaem:**It hurts a bit when I walk. I guess this is a glimpse into what old age will feel like.
Fall 20–26, starting with three hearts
 **Chaem:**Winter’s almost here.

#### Winter

 **Chaem:**It’s freezing today.
Do a few jumping jacks or push-ups if you wanna get toasty warm. Try it.
 **Chaem:**Is getting mittens worth it, you reckon?
You look like the type who’d have a lot of that kind of thing.
Talk to Chaem again
 **Chaem:**I’ll see if Wakuu has some and test-drive them, maybe.
 **Chaem:**Dry air…bah!
What is it?
 **Chaem:**One of those giant animal suits from White Flamingo would be nice.
Nice and toasty inside.
Last dialogue of the day
 **Chaem:**I feel dizzy… My head…
Whoaaaaa… I might’ve caught something.
With less than three hearts, first dialogue of the day
 **Chaem:**It’s almost the end of the year already… Fast, huh?
Starting with three hearts
 **Chaem:**I still run to the beach from my house, but the snow slows me down! Bah!
And when it’s icy, forget it. Trying to run on ice is a sure way to break a bone.
Starting with three hearts
 **Chaem:**Are you doing one of those New Year’s resolution things?
Mine is the same every year. Get better at life.
Starting with three hearts
 **Chaem:**Hmm… Should I get my flu shot now? Kinda don’t wanna go to the clinic.
Not a fan of clinics or hospitals. That’s where *sick* people go, you know what I mean?
Talk to Chaem again
 **Chaem:**I’m sure the one in town is cleaner than my room, but who knows what kind of germs or viruses are in there?\*shivers\*
Starting with three hearts, Wednesday
 **Chaem:**The hot spring sounds good right now.
What is it?
Starting with five hearts
 **Chaem:**Wakuu goes to see his dad every weekend like clockwork.
Come Saturday, the place is all mine until Monday.
Starting with five hearts
 **Chaem:**I know Wataru gardens at his house. Has a small patch in front of the lighthouse…
Wakuu always brings random produce back to the observatory. Tastes great! Really fresh.
What do they do now Winter is here? Can’t be gardening, can it?

Go to the inn, then go south. You can dive there.

It only takes a split second for somebody to get into trouble in the water.
Talk to Chaem again
 **Chaem:**And those riptides are no joke!
People think they’re good swimmers, but the waves will pull you under in a split second.
Talk to Chaem again
 **Chaem:**Didn’t mean to freak you out! It’s calm most of the time. But when a lifeguard tells you to stay near the shore, pay attention.
We’re just looking out for you.
 **Chaem:**Watch out for jellyfish on the beach.
Don’t get stung.

It’s not a hard job, and it helps me stay in shape.
Talk to Chaem again
 **Chaem:**Volleyball – that’s my real passion. Do you play?
  **Player:**A little bit.
 **Chaem:**Join me sometime. We’ll get a game going. Gotta warn you, though. I play to win.
  **Player:**Volleyball? Nope, not me.
 **Chaem:**It’s cool if it’s not your thing. I won’t hold it against you.
I mean, to me, a life without volleyball seems like a pretty sad existence, but I guess you feel the same way about a life without…I dunno…corn?
Whatever you grow at your farm.
