As a result, she requests the player to open the gate to their town, and their friend will need to find Katie and bring her to the gate of their town and request to visit them. Once they are reunited, the player who had Katie in their town will receive a present. If ignored, Kaitlin will remain in the player's town for a week before disappearing.
