If you choose to run off into the rest of the city and do an activity that advances the time to night (eg. battling at the arena, playing billiards, etc.), you'll find a cutscene with Connie at the bridge just past her house. She'll be upset that you ignored her, though much like every other option in the game, this has no effect on the main storyline.

** The hotel rivalry side quest in Happy Garland is probably the most convoluted side quest available. The NPC important to completing it can be encountered early on in the game and has one of the few dialogue options that actually matters; picking anything but the right answer locks you out of the quest. After completing an event that allows him to move (which is never made explicit for this side quest), you have to locate him again in Happy Garland and talk him with him over a period of several days before he describes his plan; thus allowing you to continue the quest. For completing the quest, you get an okay Trotmobile part, and a selection of paltry stocks and money choices in the Year After Mode.

* EmptyRoomPsych: Quite a few of these exist throughout various parts of the game. Pipit Cemetary outside of Happy Garland seems like it would be an important location, but it's never visited in the story, no sidequests seem to be associated with it, and no items can be found inside of it. One of the bars in Neuhafen has an NPC named "Owner of the Inn(?)" but he simply says you shouldn't be there. Again, no items or events occur here, though the implication is that he's a pimp.

* GameplayAndStorySegregation: As mentioned before, the choices you make through dialogue and in-game do little to alter the story. You can be as rude as you want, but the story generally advances through the same set of events.

This sequence becomes possible long before it's brought up to Vanilla, yet he can't bring it up in future conversations about it.

Social class divides, constant talk of industrialization causing job cuts, and [[spoiler:Chicory's death due to apathy of the ironically named city of Happy Garland]] are just a few of the issues you may come across.
