🧵 Relationship System Overview
Social interaction is the heart of life simulation. Paralives does it differently — no linear conversation trees; instead you draw Together Cards that shape the outcome.
🎴 Together Cards
When two Paras interact, a "Together Card" appears. Each card represents a social action with different outcomes:
- Green Cards: Positive interactions (chat, joke, compliment)
- Blue Cards: Neutral interactions (discuss hobby, ask about day)
- Red Cards: Negative interactions (argue, insult, mock)
- Pink Cards: Romantic interactions (flirt, kiss, confess love)
The more cards you draw, the more the "Together Bar" fills up. When full, special interactions unlock.

| 💬 Friend | Regular positive interactions | Invite to hangout, share secrets |
