Townsfolk Events

As you continue to raise your friendship points with Yu, you can unlock townsfolk events that allow you to get to know him better.

Unlike marriage candidates, you aren’t really required to respond with specific dialogue in order to gain their favor.

They also aren’t required to advance in your friendship with the non-marriageable villagers. Below is a list of each townsfolk event related to Yu and the requirements needed to trigger them.
