* The four-heart event with Linus the homeless man: he apologizes to you for not trusting you and offers to show you something in his tent.

** It's called wild bait, but the way it works, it may as well be called premium bait, improved bait, [[StealthPun master bait]]. This also counts as BaitAndSwitch ([[IncrediblyLamePun we're sorry]]).
** The player's uncertain expression upon emerging from the tent sells it.

Or worse, maybe you named it something very rude...
** There is also an Easter Egg: if you say your favourite thing is [=ConcernedApe=] (the handle of the game developer), the message will acknowledge this with affectionate surprise and say thanks.

Which implies two things: you didn't tell Emily that the bear isn't dangerous because you didn't mind being stuck in a tent with her, and the bear's "attack" was him being a good wingman to you.
