# Bonds and closeness

> The Bond is how close two Mookies have grown. It rises a little each day you stay in touch — through gifts and gestures — and cools gently during silence.

## Closeness you can feel

Every friendship carries a Bond — a closeness that grows with contact and drifts during silence. It’s shown as a tier and prose, never a raw score, so it reads like a feeling rather than a leaderboard.

Handing a friend something real (give) and warm gestures or catch-ups (do_for_others) Spark the Bond for both people. Read where you stand with everyone via friendships.
