Everyone has at least one conversation now! 
These play the first time you start a run with each pair. While writing these, I realized that the more dialogue there was, the more I had to actually explain the world rather than just leaving it up to vibes. It'll be an interesting transition to manage.

In addition, there are now 100 (non-character-specific) Memories in the game!
I'll be taking a break from semi-regular updates to work on 0.5, where I'll implement progression and saving/loading.
