So in some Harvest Moon games, I'm not sure how many, there's a system where each time you gain a heart with a villager, they have a new thing they say to you in their dialogue. In the game it was usually similar to heart events, but more low key. I thought it would be interesting to come up with each oc's dialogue patterns, imagining what Meadow View would be like if it were more videogame like!
I followed a ten heart system, since that's what I'm most familiar with, but for example this might be what Blythe would say. Granted, it would differ for the relationships that develop between different ocs.
1 Heart "......" 2 Hearts "...stoke the fire... knead the dough... a cup of flour.." (Blythe will be muttering baking directions under their breath. ) 3 Hearts "You come here a lot, don't you." (If you're in the church) "The stars are nice." (If you're outside) 4 Hearts "Do you ever stop to listen? The world has so much to say. The trees, the wind, the dirt, the bread..." 5 Hearts "What do you think about the church's windows? I stayed up, the other day. Until the sunlight streamed in through them. They're pretty." 6 Hearts " You should stop by more often. I'll make you a pastry. If you want." 7 Hearts "What do you think happens after we die? People have a lot of ideas about that... But I don't know." 8 hearts "When you're by yourself, do you get lonely?" 9 Hearts "Do you know what love is? The father used to always talk about it, but I hadn't understood then." 10 Hearts "When I look up at the stars, my mind always wanders back to you. Does that sound strange?"

Okay, I'm going to give this a shot! It's actually hard for me to write negative or neutral things for Clementine to say haha. I imagine most of her dialogue would be question-y, naturally.
1 Heart "Do you smell something foul?" 2 Hearts "Have you heard any interesting rumors lately?" 3 Hearts "Well, aren't you totally a sight for tired eyes!" (While She's Working) "I'm on the hunt for the legendary Mountain Leprechaun! I haven't had any luck yet..." (If you're outside) 4 Hearts "Hey, have you read any good mysteries lately? I've started collecting a few if you want to borrow one." 5 Hearts "Hey, I solved the mystery of that weird smell in the Mist Moon district! ...You don't want to know what happened." 6 Hearts "When you're around I feel like the prettiest cake in the store, you know? *Giggles*" 7 Hearts "If I wrote a novel I think it would be about a Love Detective. Love is the biggest mystery in the whole world!" 8 hearts "Have you ever been to the meadow at night? It's totally like a scene from my favorite novel. You should come with me sometime." 9 Hearts "You know those totally cheesy romantic movies they show on TV? I feel like I'm a total movie star lately..." 10 Hearts "Of all the adventures I've been on, the one I'm on with you is definitely in my top 10."

I like this idea a lot! I'm imagining standing in front of these characters and pressing the action button a bunch haha These are all for inside the grocery!
(negative) - "Is there something you need?"
0 - "Welcome to Harper's Grocery!"
1 - "Looking for anything in particular?"
2 - "We got some nice produce in this morning from a local farm. Would you like to see?"
3 - "I've seen a lot of you lately! Wait...y-you're not haunting me, are you...?"
4 - "Did you know that you can burn oatmeal? It's not as hard as you might think."
5 - "Do you like tea? I bet I can guess your favorite flavor!"
6 - "Want to come over for dinner tonight? To the Inn, I mean."
7 - "There you are! Your favorite sold out, but I hid some behind the counter for you."
8 - "I got a book on how-to plan the perfect date, but I think the author could learn something from you."
9 - "Would it be too cheesy to say that you're as beautiful as a sunrise? Either way, it's the truth."
10 - "I feel more at home here with you than I ever did in the big city."
This idea is super cute! I took a shot at it for Will!
(negative) - "…Are you sure you can handle yourself?"
0 Hearts- "Did you need help with anything?"
1 Heart- "You can always depend on me to get your job done. Number one woodcutter in all of Meadow View!"
2 Hearts- "I love all the different animals out here. Even the dogs in town!"
3 Hearts- "Don’t you love the feeling of chopping firewood for dawn to dusk, or is that just me?"
4 Hearts- "You should join me on a hike sometime. Don’t worry, I’ll defend you from any wild bears."
5 Hearts- "Usually, I prefer staying in the forest, but having you around makes coming down to the town worth it."
6 Hearts- "Don’t be scared to follow your dream! Being strong doesn’t just mean your physical strength."
7 Hearts- "I want to become stronger, you know? I want to help those close to me and have the strength to not hurt others."
8 Hearts- "Your smile reminds me of a wild flowers in the woods. It always make me appreciate the wonderful things around me."
9 Hearts- "We should go bird watching together. I hear that sometimes blue birds leave feathers behind..."
10 Hearts- "I came here because of my dream of living in the woods, but I never imagined I'd find a new dream right in front of me...Was that silly of me to say?"
