📋 About This Mod
This mod slightly changes the vanilla 6-heart event with Marnie and Lewis, and adds a new two-part event to amend the narrative around their relationship. Eventually I intend to add or change dialogue of the villagers to show their support, and maybe even flesh out the new events, but for now I just wanted to give Marnie the support she deserves!
