Reason: Include a table with a list of gifts.

Initially, a character may be spotted at one of the rooms in the Academy, where they can be interacted with, often confiding in the player about a problem that they're having. Following their initial interaction, the player can meet with that character on three additional occasions, where they can further their bond. After each stage, a string of text will display, which describes the closeness of the bond the player has with that character.

"You became even closer with _____!"
"You feel trusted by _____!"
"You formed a close bond with _____!"

With the exception of Nemona, Arven and Penny, the player is rewarded with a gift after they have formed a close bond with a character.

As of Version 3.0.0, any of the faculty members at the Academy that the player has formed a close bond with can be invited as a Special Coach to the Blueberry Academy League Club Room. Additionally, a short story involving the bosses of Team Star can be activated at the academy, provided the player has formed a close bond with Penny.
