Inside the Diner, Mark seems to be enjoying himself at one of the tables. As you walk in, he asks if you're there to eat too. Mark likes the diner because the food is great and there's so many different people to talk to.

» I prefer eating alone. = Negative answer.

Mark is sad to hear that you don't like to eat in busy places. He hopes that you don't stick around because of him.

» I'd love to join you! = Positive answer!

Oh wonderful! Food tastes better when eaten with friends. He's glad that you feel the same way.

Dreams
Blue Heart Event

» Chen's house
» Rainy day: 3:00 pm to 5:00 pm
» Not Fridays (Chen is closed on Fridays)
» Mark at a blue heart color or above
» You have seen "Lunch Together"

Mark is visiting with Chen, and comments on how interesting his house looked. Chen explains that he was trading in the east and saw a house that he really liked. He wanted to live in a house like that, and now he does. Mark figures that means that Chen's dream came true. His dream is to become a rancher, although he is still in training. Chen thinks Mark has a fantastic dream.

Chen notices the resident ranching expert has arrived, although you seem confused at his comment. Mark explains that he was just telling Chen about his dream of becoming a rancher.

» That's a great dream! = Positive answer!

You think so too? Chen confirms that Mark's dream is important, and everyone will be cheering for him. Mark thanks the two of you for your words of encouragement.

» That's hard work, not a dream! = Negative answer.

Mark knows the work will be really hard but that's what makes it worth doing. He is disappointed to hear your negative opinion from someone experienced in farming.
Leaving and Staying
Green Heart Event

» The Inn on Verdure Island
» Sunny day: 6:00 am to 9:00 am
» Rainy day: 9:00 am to 12:00 pm
» Mark at a green heart color or higher
» You have seen "Dreams"

Inside the Inn, Mark asks if you're here to visit him. He has always moved from place to place so it is rare that he makes any friends. Sometimes Mark avoids people because he knows he'll eventually have to leave. This island is really nice, and he is glad to have met you.

» I want to leave one day. = Negative answer.

Mark doesn't understand why you would want to leave. You have a ranch, so what would happen to the animals and crops if you go away? Ranchers, such as yourself, have responsibilities.

» I hope you don't leave soon. = Positive answer!

Well he doesn't want to leave because he still has a lot to learn. He is a little embarrassed that you worry about him. Mark admits that he has been thinking about staying on the island for good. He hasn't made up his mind yet but hopes you keep coming to visit him.
Out with Mark
Yellow Heart Event

» Walk into your farm house
» Sunny day: 10:00 am to 5:00 pm
» Not on Cloudy days
» Mark at a yellow heart color or higher
» You have seen "Leaving and Staying"

The weather is nice today, so Mark has come over to see if you would like to go outside with him.

» Sure! = Positive answer!

The two of you head to the Meadow Island. Usually Mark only comes to the meadow during festivals, but it's pretty when there's nothing going on too. Mark tells you how amazing he thinks you are. Running a ranch all by yourself is very respectable, even though it is hard work. He expected that you would be tired just from tending the animals and crops, but you still take the time to visit him.

You tell him you visit because he is fun to talk to. Mark gets embarrassed, but thanks you for your comment. He is glad that he came to the island and had the chance to meet you.

The event ends back at your farm house at 6:00 pm.

» No thanks. = Negative answer.

He guesses that you're busy, and so he leaves.
