Friendship and Romance
All villagers, like Tish, can receive gifts each day, and each villager will also have a specific item they’re looking for that week. They may tell you themselves what they’d like, or you may hear it from their friends! You should check in often to speak with villagers and share your cooking or collection with your friends.
Many villagers in Kilima (and beyond) such as Tish are open and available for something deeper than friendship. In Kilima, it is custom to give a pin to your lover to symbolize your love and devotion to each other. Who knows? Maybe if you get to know someone long enough, you may find yourself falling for them. Or, you may fall for multiple people – in Palia it’s common and accepted to have multiple love interests or lovers. However, keep in mind: that you can only wear one pin at a time!
