“ | “Growing up with a carpenter and a scientist for parents, Maru acquired a passion for creating gadgets at a young age. When she isn’t in her room, fiddling with tools and machinery, she sometimes does odd jobs at the local clinic. Friendly, outgoing, and ambitious, Maru would be quite a lucky match for a lowly newcomer such as yourself… Can you win her heart, or will she slip through your fingers and disappear from your life forever?” |

Heart Events
Two Hearts
As you walk into their house, you find Maru and Demetrius in their lab. Maru asks you to watch a beaker as she has to go do something. While you're watching the beaker, Demetrius starts talking to you about his special little girl Maru. Demetrius states that he doesn't want anything getting in the way of Maru's future "If you know what I mean." When Maru returns, Demetrius tells Maru that he was telling you about the tests.
"Right, (character name)?"
1 - Say nothing
Both Demetrius and Maru go back to their work.
2 - Actually, your dad was being weird
Maru will ask Demetrius what (character name) is talking about. Demetrius will tell the truth and apologize for his behaviour.
Four Hearts
Triggered by entering the clinic on a Tuesday or Thursday while Maru is working there. She is surprised by your entry and drops a glass beaker she is holding. Worried about Harvey's response, she asks you what she should do. The three responses below are not verbatim.
1 - Clear it up quickly, Harvey won't notice. 2 - Tell Harvey that it was [player's] fault. 3 - Tell Harvey the truth.
When Maru tells Harvey the truth, he easily forgives her and praises her for being such a good help around the clinic. Maru is happy that she was honest, but the player character has a tear above their head at the end of the event (unclear whether from sadness or relief).
Six Hearts
Her House (occurred for this editor on Thursday, entering the house after she had just returned from working at the clinic). Maru will show you what it is she's been working on, and accidentally shock you in the process of testing it. You have the option of telling her that the shock barely hurt or that it was extremely painful, with the former leaving her in a slightly better mood although she remains sad that she accidentally shocked you.
Eight Hearts
Triggered by entering the area of the map where has house is located in the evening (after about 8pm on a Sunday coming down from the Hot Springs, for this editor). The scene takes you to a mountain area where Maru is using her telescope; she will look through it and then let you do so, after which you have to options when she asks: 'What did you see?'
1 - A beautiful planet.
Maru agrees with you, and makes a comment about how small it feels to be human in a vast universe. She starts to confess something to you, but hesitates and carries on showing you stars and planets through the telescope.
2 - A cold, dark abyss.
[Response unconfirmed.]
