*Hey, [player name]! I was just about to head for a walk. Join me.*
*If I remember correctly...I think what I am looking for is over here...*
*Aha! Here it is! Have you tried these yet? They taste almost exactly like peaches back home!*
*Or maybe you don't like fruit?*

* **These are okay.**
* **I hate fruit.**
* **I love fruit!**
	+ *Who doesn't?!"*

*Peaches are my favorite, but these heartfruit come in a very close second! My mother also loves peaches. Ah Memories. Excuse me. I have something I must attend to.*

Dialogue:
*You have perfect timing! Your gift is finally dry enough to transport. May I present "Kenji Unleashed." Not quite as breathtaking as its subject matter, but even I cannot capture all that is Kenji on canvas. Your gift is actually twofold. I like listening to this song when I work. It helps get me "in the zone." Maybe you will find it enjoyable as well. Do you like painting, [Player Name]?*
* **Yeah. I like painting.**
* **I'm not very artistic.**
* **My field is my canvas.**
	+ *That is an interesting way to think about it! You are definitely more talented than I in that medium.*

*Now that I have presented you with your gift, I really should get back to work. My muse never rests. If only my body could keep up with my mind! I hope you like the portrait of me. Consider it a token of our friendship!*

### First Blue heart

The player can reach the first blue heart by visiting Kenji's home, when his relationship bar is full and the third green heart has been reached.

Dialogue:
*I'm so glad you came by to try my new dessert! I was so excited that I made quadruple the recipe. Behold! Heartfruit cobbler. It is as delicious as it is beautifully plated. And keep the recipe for yourself! I must apologize for my abrupt departure when we were out for our walk. I felt a sudden pang of homesickness and needed to hear my mothers voice. Are you close to your mother, [player name]?*
* **We don't get along.**
* **I don't know my mother.**
* **We are very close.**
	+ *That is good! It seems that no matter what is trouble me, my mother can always soothe me.*

*Just the sound of her voice is calming. There is no problem she cannot solve. She is a remarkable woman! I suppose I am being a bit misleading. My mother is not of my flesh and blood. She found me in the streets when I was still but a child. Using peaches, she gained my trust. She looked for my parents, if I had any siblings, distant relations... When she could find no one, she adopted me. I owe her everything. Excuse me again, [player name]. I seem to be suffering from homesickness yet again.*

### Second Blue heart

The player can reach the second blue heart by visiting Kenji's home, when his relationship bar is full and the first blue heart has been reached.

Dialogue:
*I love the peace that this colony has to offer, but I haven't completely adjusted to life here. I am no stranger to loneliness, Fame is lonely. But it's a different loneliness when you are alone in a crowd. At least then you're surrounded by other lonely people! Here there's just so few people... So little to do. I find myself having plenty of time to reflect on the emptiness I feel. Being famous isn't as wonderful as you might thing, but at least it kept me busy! Now the only thing that seems to fill this void inside of me is you. That came out wrong. What I mean to say is that you are a very good friend to me, [player name]. When I last mentioned this, you admitted you too were having trouble adjusting to life here. Do you ever think about leaving? Do you ever want to go back home?*
* **I can't wait to leave.**
* **This is my home.**
	+ *I never thought of it that way. Technically wherever I lay my head at night is my home.*
* **I might one day.**

*But to me home is where my heart is, and I left a large piece on our old planet. I am overflowing with emotions right now. this is the best time for me to work. Please excuse me!*

### Third Blue heart

The player can reach the third blue heart by visiting Kenji's home, when his relationship bar is full and the second blue heart has been reached.

Dialogue:
I'm so glad you stopped by, my muse! I've been stuck in the past a bit today. I think just talking to someone about it will make me feel better. I mentioned that my mother found me on the streets... But I never really told you much about the time I spent living off the kindness of strangers. Growing up on the streets was very difficult. I often felt like no one cared whether I lived or died. Sometimes even *I* didn't care. It was very difficult being abandoned by my flesh and blood. Sometimes I liked to imagine that they didn't intentionally leave me... But how can you lose a child if not on purpose?
* **I'm sorry.**
	+ *Sorry? You have nothing to be sorry for, my muse! You are far too young to be my parent!*
* **I don't know.**
	+ *The answer is you* can't*! They left me to fend for myself. Something for which I shall never forgive them.*
* **Accidents happen.**
	+ *It must have been quite the accident to lose a toddler... Oh no! What if they were injured or killed? I never thought that maybe they \*couldn't\* come back for me. That offers me some relief, my muse. Thank you.*

Life was hard, but I always had my art. I cannot remember a time I was not drawing or painting. My art has always been my life. Sometimes quite literally. I don't know what I would have done without it as an outlet. It was something to pour all of myself into. A welcome distraction from my reality. I could pain the places I wish I could be. The things I wanted to be. Do you have anything like that? An Escape from your life?

* **Yes.**
	+ *That is good! Even very strong people need an escape sometimes. I am always open to being an additional distraction from your daily grind. I shall do my best to make you smile whenever I see you.*
* **You.**
	+ *You're quite the charmer, aren't you? Feel free to use me as a distraction whenever you like. I am yours to do with what you wish.*
* **No.**
	+ *That's too bad. Or maybe it isn't? Maybe you are just one of the lucky ones who doesn't need an escape? I am admittedly jealous. I think I feel inspiration striking again! Please show yourself out!*
* **My farm.**
	+ *That makes perfect sense! You love farming. I suppose there is nothing like hard work to keep your mind busy. We have something in common then. Using work as a distraction. Speaking of work I have kept you from yours for far too long! I don't want to get you into trouble with Administrator Washington!*
