Please make it so that Zoey doesn’t grieve over the death of a stranger. My character received a notification about the death of a person she didn’t even know. He once simply sent her a party invitation and she declined. ![Screenshot 2026-06-09 124802](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/krafton/original/3X/1/0/10e3cb7ee0d1aa3d893fea1105cecbae2a0cddbf.jpeg) Now that this Zoey is dead, my character has to suffer for 8 hours? Why? What for? ![Screenshot 2026-06-09 124809](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/krafton/original/3X/7/7/7773095db44042eaa87f849fae3d041e08c13529.jpeg) I specifically loaded a previous save to check if my Zoey really cared that much about this Flynn Meyer. And look at this. He’s nobody: ![Screenshot 2026-06-09 125919](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/krafton/original/3X/f/7/f70296ae0d850e02e35d50a8cecd37be38026b9a.jpeg) I suggest that Zoey should grieve over the deaths of truly close friends and family members, not over people they barely knew. ---

8 hours is nothing! I had an adopted family NPC cry for two days because of the same superficial acquaintance! So yes, this definitely needs fixing 👍 ---

I completely agree, friends and family, but not everyone indiscriminately. ---

Hi! I agree with you so I’m commenting to boost this post 🙂 Might be worth the shot to also post it on the Brainstorming with Kjun area of discord/the forums! This is just very fitting for the more alive worlds etc topic! ---

I agree. It’s kind of weird when your Zoi is sad about the death of all the Zois. No tears are enough.😁 ---

Really, that’s quite unpleasant. ---

Maybe they are congenital identical twins that’s why he’s crying.😁 ---

I support you as well. This is very annoying.
