Chelsea gets off work when the dentist's office closes and she's done making everybody's reminder calls and making sure nothing's double-booked (or, well, something is, but she calls somebody and then it's not). Then she goes and waits for the bus and opens up her phone to see if she has any texts.

The screen darkens for a moment except for a circle in the upper right corner to highlight that she has 300💕.
There's currently one option.
Mood Boost: 50💕

-50💕 appears, and the numbers in Chelsea's total roll down appropriately. But then it refunds her +25💕.

A text box appears in the way, and in the background she can see that the cost has gone up to 100💕.
Congratulations!
Sarah Chaffee is now a true friend. You can tell her about "Win their LOVE With ME!" without negative consequences.
Objective: Welcome Sarah as your true friend.

Earn 💕 according to how much Sarah likes you!
Taking actions which your friends feel positively about will give an instant bonus to your collected hearts.
In addition, each friend will generate hearts passively, proportional to their current affection.
And the screen darkens again just in time to show off Chelsea's total ticking up one to 326💕.

"Well it stands to reason that anybody'd want to be cheered up, I suppose," she observes after reading this. "What had you in such a mood, anyhow?"

"It literally doesn't even matter. Hi, what's your name - what was your name, I mean, you told it to me already but I didn't care. - I left my phone at home and so I couldn't listen to anything all day even when I was just sorting things in the back, and I - it was rough! I was annoyed! I'm sorry I was brusque with you."
