“I don't know if I'll ever get used to being back home. The peacefulness of the town feels like a mask. That's probably just me though.”
— Kent
Kent is a villager who lives in Pelican Town. He is away serving in the army throughout the first year and returns to live in the town during spring of year two. His presence is hinted at by examining the drawer in Jodi's bedroom and by Vincent saying "Daddy comes home soon[...]".
Dirty but still beautiful. On the side is a flowing script thought by some to be the ancient language of the elves. No Elvish bones have ever been found.
Trigger: Enter Kent's home while he and Jodi are both there.
When the player enters Jodi and Kent's house, a cut scene begins and player walks into the kitchen and Jodi says, "Hi, Player! I'm just making some popcorn." Kent screams and runs into the kitchen exclaiming "That sound... You should've known that sound would remind me of the war!" Jodi stops the popcorn, and Kent goes on to lament the loss of his friends. Jodi says, "But, dear... popcorn was always your favorite before you left." Kent responds with, "...Things have changed." Jodi then quietly asks the player's character if they can say something to Kent. There are three choices:
-"Jodi's to blame... she should've known better!"
Kent gets angry and says, "You keep quiet! Stop trying to turn me against my wife." Then apologizes to Jodi.
-"I know you're hurting... but don't blame your wife."
Kent says the player is "absolutely right," and apologizes to Jodi.
-"(Lie) Blame me... I asked for popcorn."
Kent gets angry and says, "Don't lie to me! I hate lies more than anything!" Then apologizes to Jodi.
Four Hearts
After reaching four hearts with Kent, he will begin to send the player gifts in the mail.
