5 Heart Rival Event

If you're playing as a female, Anissa will come to your house at 5 hearts. She confides in you about her crush on Jin. Because the two of you are friends, she asks for your advice. An option to encourage her to pursue her crush will become available, but if you want to marry Jin yourself, discourage her.
