You really only talk to one person – Emily, of course. The other things you talk to are inanimate objects, and crows. Emily doesn't mind; crows are usually quiet, unlike most humans, and they don't look at her weird when she tells them about the spirits she believes in. She loves birds far more than she loves people.

Though, Mayor Lewis was starting to get a little concerned with your... ah, caring for the local feathered friends. It's been a while since you've really talked to people, so he sent Emily on a quest to... well, get you to socialize.

"Hey," she says, and she sits down next to you in the forest. "How long has it been since we've talked?"

Yeah. Clearly, Emily's not any better at this than you are.
