The greeting you got from Shane when you met him was far from friendly, unlike most of the other Pelican Town residents. But did that bother you? Most certainly not. You were the stubborn type. You'd never give up so easily.

Now it was roughly a week later, and you had chosen to try once more to befriend the alcoholic bachelor that's been so cold to you. You went down to Cindersap Forest and waited outside for Shane to come out. Sure, you looked like a bit of a creep, but it was an effective way of making sure you could see him that morning.
