Sam

“	“Sam is an outgoing, friendly guy who is brimming with youthful energy. He plays guitar and drums, and wants to start a band with Sebastian as soon as he has enough songs together. However, he does have a habit of starting ambitious projects and not finishing them. Sam is a little stressed about the impending return of his father, who has been away for years due to his line of work.”
	— Dev Update #12

Heart Events

Two Hearts

Enter Sam's house and a cut scene will trigger with Sam and Sebastian jamming out in Sam's room. Sam tells you he's trying to get a band together, but is unsure of what music style to play. He asks what music you like.

"Cheerful pop music."

"Experimental noise rock."

"Hi-energy dance music."

"Honky-tonk country music."

No matter which style you pick, Sam says that's the style he's been thinking about for the band. He asks Sebastian if he's on board, too. Sebastian agrees and Sam thanks you.

Four Hearts

Enter the beach on a sunny day, and a cut scene will trigger with Sam watching his brother, Vincent, play in the sand. Sam tells you that his dad used to take them to the beach on sunny days. Vincent asks if their father is ever going to come home. Sam says "Of course." Vincent mentions overhearing people talk about the mass military casualties. Sam tells him not to believe them, and Vincent returns to playing. Sam feels bad for getting his brother's hopes up and asks for your opinion.

"It's best to be honest with kids."

"You did the right thing. Kids should have hope." Sam agrees with you.

Sam tells you the band's coming together, and Sebastian wanted Abigail to be the drummer.

Enter Sam's house, and he will be in the kitchen. He says hello and he gets you a snack. Sam drops the egg on the kitchen floor. His mom hears the commotion and goes to the kitchen, immediately freaking out about the mess. Sam asks you to tell her what happened.

"Sam dropped the snack as he was handing it to me."

"Sam handed me the snack and then I dropped it." Sam agrees with you.

"Sam dropped it on purpose. He thought it would be funny."

Jodi thanks you for being honest, and Sam insists he'll clean up the mess.

Six Hearts

Head toward Sam's house. A cut scene will trigger with Sam skateboarding and grinding on Emily and Haley's flower box. Lewis catches him and scolds him for it. Sam asks for your opinion.

"You're right, sir. Sam should respect private property." If you pick this, Sam is unhappy, but obliges and says he'll just not skateboard ever again.

"Don't blame Sam. There's nowhere else to ride!"

"I'm staying out of this."

Eight Hearts

Sam will show up at your door first thing in the morning and ask you to see his band play in the city. Meet Sam and the others at the bus stop at 4pm. You watch his band play, and he thanks you for inspiring his band with the type of music they should play. After the cut scene, you return to the bus stop, and the time is still 4pm.

Ten Hearts

After you reach 10 hearts, you will receive a letter from Sam the following morning. He asks to meet you after dark.

Enter town after 8PM, and you will meet Sam outside of his house. He says it's cold outside and sneaks you into his room to talk privately. He admits he's falling for you, and then his mom knocks on the door. He has you hide in the bed. His mom comes in and asks why he's sweating and red in the face, and Sam says he's just been doing push ups. She wishes him good night and leaves.

You are presented with the option to:

Stand up

Stay in the bed. If you pick this one, Sam crawls into bed with you, kisses you, and says "I knew there was something special between us."
