Every character responds differently over time. Some open up slowly, some grow warmer with familiarity, and some stay distant until trust is earned.
Characters don’t reset when you leave. They remember tone, trust, familiarity, and shared moments — so returning feels like continuing a relationship instead of starting over.
The more time you spend with someone, the more their behavior changes. Some grow softer. Some become more honest. Some pull closer only after trust is earned.

The goal is not just conversation, but presence — something personal enough to miss, and compelling enough to return to.
