Shane

“	“I'm renting my room from Marnie at a really good price. It's small but I can't complain. If I could reset my life maybe I'd start a chicken farm. Only free-range eggs of course.”
	— Shane

Shane is a villager who lives in Pelican Town and is often rude and unhappy. If the player chooses to befriend him, however, his attitude toward them will start to change. He works at JojaMart most days between 9 AM and 5 PM, and after work he frequently spends his evenings in the saloon. He doesn't work on the weekend, and is frequently around the ranch.

In the Social Status menu, Shane's outfit will change to a Joja Corporation uniform when he is at his job at Joja Mart.

Six Hearts

Enter Cindersap Forest between 9 am and 8 pm while storming or raining.

Details

Shane is laying face down at the edge of the cliffs, again surrounded by beer. He talks about how miserable his life is and asks why he shouldn't just roll off the cliff. You can respond in different ways. Regardless, you end up taking him to the hospital where Harvey takes care of him, and recommends he go to counselling in Zuzu City. The next day Shane shows up at your house and says that he's decided to do the counselling, and apologizes for making your life difficult.

Six Hearts Part 2

Enter Marnie's Ranch while Shane is home after triggering the previous six heart event.

Details

Shane enters with Marnie behind the counter. He tells her that he's been feeling happier than usual. Jokingly she asks if there was a sale on beer. Though slightly annoyed, he responds by saying he's started drinking sparkling water instead. He then says that he realized that he has people that he can rely on and that doing so does not make him weak. He then walks to Jas who is in the kitchen and gives her a present. She opens it to find a pair of shoes that she had wanted, but were expensive. When she asked how he could afford it, he replies that it's because he cut back on his expensive habit of drinking beer.

Seven Hearts

Enter the town between 10am and 4pm on a sunny day. (also requires 2 hearts with both Emily and Clint before triggering)*

Details

Shane will explain to you that Joja is holding a contest to create an advertisement for the newest Joja Cola, and the winner gets data-sort-value="10000">10,000g. He will ask you to walk behind Clint and Emily as they act so the scene feels more natural. When it's over, he will thank you for helping him. * This event was Shane's six heart event before update 1.1.

Eight Hearts

Enter Marnie's Ranch while Shane is home.

Details

You see Shane alone, picking up Charlie and talking to her about his problems. Then you enter and Shane talks to you a bit about how he is trying to pass on the chicken knowledge to Jas so she can continue the tradition if he ever moves out. After seeing this event, each chicken the player purchases from Marnie now has a 1/4 chance of being blue. Aside from appearance, the blue chickens are identical to white chickens.

After a pause, you go in for the full kiss and allay his fears.
