Gray (SoSFoMT)

Saibara and Gray appear to be having a heated argument. You try to help, but Gray snaps at you as well.

Saibara then reprimands him for being rude. They welcome you to their shop, and Saibara says he is going to take a short break and heads outside.

Gray has something he wants to ask you. He feels bad for snapping at you earlier and wants to apologize. He says that it was not the right way to welcome a customer to the shop.

You tell him that you do not mind, which makes Gray feel better. When he does not know someone, he tends to be rude. He hopes you do not hate him for it.

Gray works with ore and gems at the forge, and he really enjoys it. He wants to make something new, but he has not told his grandfather yet. Gray wants to do something more.

According to Gray, it is not a big deal, but he seems happy to hear that. There is still a lot he has to do, but he hopes to become a better craftsman than his grandfather.

Gray greets you at the door the next morning. He says that Saibara scolded him again today, but he feels that he finally understands why his grandfather is so hard on him.

According to Gray, Saibara does this to help him become a better craftsman.

Gray then mentions that he rarely sees you wearing many accessories. Are you not interested in jewelry?

• Positive Answer: “I live to be adorned in opulence!”

Gray hopes you will not be angry with him. In any case, he made a brooch and wants to give it to you.

He made the brooch without his grandfather’s knowledge, although he does not think it turned out as well as something Saibara could make.

Gray decided that the first brooch he successfully made would be a gift for you. He then returns to the forge and gives you Gray’s Brooch.

You can place it on the trophy shelf or store it in your closet, but the gift cannot be equipped.

Saibara greets you at the Forge and says that he wants to ask you something. He is happy that you are friends with Gray because his grandson has very few friends.

According to Saibara, Gray has even become quite the hard worker. You should be able to tell how good the tools you have now are. He then calls Gray and tells him to take the day off.

Gray worries that he has done something wrong, but Saibara says that Gray may be too busy with you. Saibara then asks you to spend some time with Gray.

Back at the Inn, Gray says that sometimes he does not understand his grandfather. However, he has a question: will you always stay in this town?

• Positive Answer: “Couldn’t imagine life anywhere else!”

Gray is happy to hear that you do not plan to move away. He worries that you might be like Kai, who only stays for a short time, or like the people who move to other towns, such as his father.

Gray is afraid that you will do the same. If you leave, he will feel lonely because he does not have many friends. He is glad that you are here now, so he does not have to worry about it.

Reward: +3,000 LP with Gray

• Negative Answer: “Who knows what tomorrow will bring.”

Gray is surprised that you might leave someday. However, he says that it is okay and that he just wanted to talk for a while.

To progress to the next Heart Event, you must confess your feelings to Gray by giving him a Preserved Flower.

This flower becomes available at the General Store after the Basil and Jeff event where they search for the Sunsweet Flower occurs.

Gray explains that his grandfather has to take care of something, so he is in charge of the shop for the time being.

He suggests that you come back later, but his sharp eyes notice that your Sickle appears to be damaged.

Gray asks you to wait a moment while he repairs the Sickle, although he thinks it might be better to wait until Saibara returns. Gray is worried that he might make a mistake while repairing it.

You tell him that you want him to repair it. Gray is not completely sure that he can do it on his own, but he agrees to give it a try.

After a while, Gray returns from the forge with your Sickle. He is very happy that he managed to complete the task.

Gray was nervous because it was the first time he had to repair something on his own, but he wanted to try doing it for you.

Gray has been thinking a lot about his work. As an apprentice, there is not much he can do to help you on the farm.

However, if your tools need to be maintained or repaired, perhaps there is something he can do to help you.

He is motivated to work harder and practice his metalworking skills so he can help you, even if only a little.

You really think so? It is only natural that Gray would want to help you, but he is still happy to hear you say that.

Saibara returns to the shop and notices the Sickle in your hands. He asks Gray if he was the one who repaired your tool.

Gray admits that he repaired it, and Saibara says that he did a good job. Saibara is confident that Gray will finally understand what he has been overlooking all this time.

After Saibara leaves, Gray feels relieved. He is happy that his grandfather has finally recognized the hard work he has put into his training.

However, Gray wonders what his grandfather meant by something he had been missing all this time. Perhaps he had lost his confidence. Gray admits that maybe that is what has been missing from him all along.

Gray thanks you for being there for him. It is as if his relationship with you is beginning to clear the fog and reveal brighter days ahead.

Not much may have changed yet, but someday, he will become a master blacksmith.

You run into Gray as you leave your house. He asks if you would like something to eat, so the two of you go to the Inn to have a meal together.

As the two of you chat and enjoy your meal, Dudley tells Ran how happy he is to see Gray laughing and smiling more often lately.

Ran does not understand what he means, but Dudley says that he has never seen Gray smile this much before.

It even makes Dudley smile as well. Ran still does not understand what her father means, but she reminds Dudley that he should take care of Gray’s drink order.

Dudley walks over to the table and gives Gray his drink. Before leaving, Dudley says that he has noticed the change in Gray’s personality and how Gray is always smiling now.

Previously, Gray only spent time with Saibara and acted as though he was inexperienced. Now, however, he seems much more confident.

Gray did not realize that Dudley thought he was incompetent. Dudley explains that he did not mean it in a bad way and only wanted to say how great Gray is now.

Dudley then apologizes and tells Gray that his drink is free.

Gray is struck by Dudley’s words. He then asks if you think he has become more mature.

• Negative Answer: “You have much yet to learn, grasshopper.”

Gray did not expect you to be the type of person who would raise his expectations instead.

Penalty: -2,000 LP with Gray

• Positive Answer: “Maturity looks good on you.”

Gray used to only want to earn his grandfather’s recognition, but that was before he met you.

Now, he feels that he has a strong purpose in standing by your side. He can feel his motivation growing stronger.

Gray feels that he has grown a little, and it is all thanks to you. He cannot wait to spend more time with you.
