My primary tool to calm my nerves last night was buying Story of Seasons: Pioneers of Olive Town and it’s probably due to your character’s motorcycle but I now head canon that game takes place in the same world as Kino.

It’s a really cute game and it’s kinda taking the place of Animal Crossing for me.

I don’t think I’ve played AC at all in 2021 so I assume my island has been reclaimed by nature at this point.

I would almost be tempted to get this game and name the protag Kino except then I would be completely unable to mentally ship them with anyone

Plus it's just so unbelievable that Kino would settle down in any city, no matter how charming.
