The mission starts after completing Birthday Blues if the player is not married to anyone.

There is no time limit to complete the mission. If the player misses the meeting at 18:00 on the day they got the mission, they can still show up on a later day.

The mission's ending depends on how many Mission: The Stars Align (1)⁠⁠ romantic dialogue options the player picks during the mission.

Conduct[]

The day after the Birthday Blues, the player will find a mission icon leading to Catori's current location. When talking to her, she will ask if the Player is free for a walk later.

I was hoping I’d run into you. You free tonight? Let’s go for a walk at, say 18:00? I know a place with a beautiful view.
  • Sure! I need a break.
  • Mission: The Stars Align (3)It’s a date.
  • Too much on my plate.
→Sure! I need a break.
Alright! See you then!
→It’s a date.
Haha, sure. It’s a date! See you then!
→Too much on my plate.
Sure. I get it. But if you find some time, let me know. I’d really like to sit down for a chat.

If the player declines Catoris's invitation, she will still wait for the Player to accept the mission.

So, you in the mood for a little walk?

The mission starts if the Player accepts Catoris invitation for a walk.

Meet Catori at 18:00PM[]

You’ve arranged a walk with Catori, meet her behind the Temple at 18:00PM.Meet Catori at 18:00PM

Catori will be waiting for the Player beside the cable cars behind the temple. When arriving, Catori will greet them for coming on time.

You came! I was worried you were gonna get caught up with work.

Catori and the Player walks near the fence.

Phew, another day almost over. Y’know, it’s the first time I’ve come here with anyone… You can see so far from here. Really outs things into perspective.
Did you get Alo’s letter?
I was surprised he wrote to you! Ma says he’s been talkin’ about you all the time. I’ve never seen him do that before, he never even writes to his Pa…

Catori turns and looks out.

Y’know he’s taken it real tough since he left. My ex… well, he took off before the ink dried on the divorce papers.
Sometimes I wonder if he was ever really there at all.

Catori turns to the player again.

Anyway. Enough about that.

Catori shows a picture of her son Alo, holding the train model the Player built for him.

Ma sent me pictures from my boy’s party. Take a look at this one. You can see by his smile how much he loves the train model.
  • I’m glad it made him happy.
  • Mission: The Stars Align (16)He has your beautiful eyes.
→I’m glad it made him happy.
It made me happy, too. I hev’nt always been able to give him the things he wants. It was nice to be able to spoil him a little for once.
→He has your beautiful eyes.
You always know exactly what to say to make me smile.
You know, the more I get to know you, the more I think you have such a big heart, and you work harder than anyone in this town to make it grow.
Look at me, prattling on. Tell me more about yourself! What were you like as a child? Or how about plans for the future?
  • (Talk about you and Nia)
  • I want to know more about you.
→(Talk about you and Nia)
Ah! I remember her! I think I saw her running around Sandrock, heard she was a friend of yours!
→I want to know more about you.
Haha, you know a lot about me already, eh? Divorced, broke, workaholic…
Y’know, I always thought my future would be business and motherhood. Friendship, love… all that was left behind me. I never imagined wanting anything other than bringing my son here.
I didn’t think my own happiness was important right now. But you showed me I was wrong.
  • Everyone deserves to be happy.
  • Mission: The Stars Align (25)Your happiness is my top priority.
→Everyone deserves to be happy.
I never understood that until you came along. But I believe you’re right. Happiness shouldn’t be dependent on how hard someone works. It just… is.
→Your happiness is my top priority.
No one’s ever put me first like that before. I never expected to have a person like you in my life.

The mission changes depending on how many Mission: The Stars Align (28) romantic dialogue options were chosen.

Platonic ending[]

If the player chose 1 or less Mission: The Stars Align (29) options, the mission will end on a platonic note with no relationship change.

Well. Just thought I’d tell you that I appreciate you being such a great friend to me. It’s nice to… be able to trust someone. And, y’know, if you ever need help with anything. Know I’ve got your back, too!
Time to get back to it, eh? See you around!

The mission ends.

Both flirt options were chosen[]

If both Mission: The Stars Align (32) options were chosen, the conversation continues in a different way.

What I’m trying to say is, your friendship means the world to me. But maybe there’s more between us than friendship. I would certainly be… open to something more if you are.

The Player will be given three options, where the second one will lead to a romantic ending with Catori.

  • I’m not sure I’m ready for that.
  • Mission: The Stars Align (34)I want to be more than friends, too.
  • Let’s stick with being friends.

Non romantic ending

→I’m not sure I’m ready for that.
Of, of course! You take your time. I don’t want to put any pressure on you. If you decide you want to give us a chance, you know where to find me.
For now, I’m just happy to have you in my life as my friend.
→Let’s stick with being friends.
Sure, sure. If it’s what you want, then we’ll stick with that. Probably better not to risk the friendship, right?
I’m just happy you’re in my life. Best friends forever.

The mission ends and the Player's relationship with Catori will not change.

Romantic ending

→I want to be more than friends, too.
Yeah? I’m so glad you feel that way too…
  • Why now?
  • Yeah. I like you a lot. (No unique line)
→Why now?
Well… just being with you makes me happy. I tried to fight it, but I realized, why should I? Why shouldn’t I be happy? I just needed to be brave and take that step, and not let the chance slip away…
Alright well… I guess that makes today our first day together. As a real couple.

A cutscene starts with the Player and Catori kissing.

You’re really something, you know? But… it’s getting late. Maybe we ought to say goodnight.
  • Sweet dreams.
  • Good night.
→Sweet dreams./Good night.
You too.

The mission ends and Catori will now be the Player's girlfriend.
