- Only in
Wage Slave runs: you keep the basket stocked for
Girl Next Door. In Endless it only runs on a Casual save. - How she is getting by has six levels: Critical, Severe, Distressed, Tight, Peace, Plenty. She starts at Distressed.
- She drops one level every 48 hours without a basket; any basket restarts that clock. A basket worth 40 rescue points or more lifts her one level, 80 or more two.
- From stage 2 on she never drops below Peace, so she can no longer die.
- A basket's rescue points: 15 for each kind she wished for today that it has, plus 0.2 per point of value of the wished-for goods, plus 0.06 per point of value of everything else.
- At Critical, the next drop starts a struggle (
Last Call for Help,
A silent cry for help, then
Final farewell). Within 24 hours, a basket with 10 satiety or more in whole items brings her back to Critical, 100 or more to Severe. Turn her down and she dies 1 hour later. After 3 struggles in a run, the next drop kills her. - Send nothing for 48 hours and she texts asking for help (not in the first 3 days of a stage). Send anything of the kind she names before time runs out; each stage's calls for help are below.
- Each milestone adds 3 affinity, each finished stage 10.
- The basket will not take
Hand-Woven Charm,
Marble Mosaic Trinket,
Her Roasted Pigeon or
Military Repair Kit, or task items.

| 100 | Thank you... I've put everything you brought these past few days to good use. |
| 250 | I cleaned the window today. This way... I can see over to your place a bit more clearly. |
| 500 | I made it through... I really made it through. During those hardest days, nothing you sent went to waste. ...I've been keeping track of all these days. |
Calls for help

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Something's hitting my window... The glass is about to break. I don't know how much longer it can hold. | Tools | 1 day | 30 + 5 per item | +10 |
| I've searched the kitchen high and low, but there's nothing left to cook with. I've been surviving on just water for the past two days. I have no energy at all and don't feel like doing anything—just sitting here... How about you? Do you still have any food left? | Food | 1 day | 30 + 5 per item | +10 |
| The power's out here, and I'm afraid the food in the refrigerator is going to spoil. As it gets dark... I'm starting to panic, too. | Fuel | 1 day | 30 + 5 per item | +10 |
| The hinges on my front door have been pried loose and it won't shut tight. If this keeps up, the door won't hold against what's outside. | Materials | 1 day | 30 + 5 per item | +10 |
| I've been running a fever since last night... ran out of medicine at home ages ago. My head's spinning, do you... have any Fever Meds... | Meds | 1 day | 30 + 5 per item | +10 |
| The soap's down to a tiny sliver, and the toothpaste's nearly gone too. Do you have any spare daily supplies...? | Household | 2 days | 30 + 5 per item | +10 |
| I sat by the window all day today... There's no color outside at all. I want to plant something on the windowsill, watch it sprout—just to have something to look forward to. Do you have any seeds... | Seeds | 2 days | 30 + 5 per item | +10 |

| 100 | I put something in the basket this time... give it a try. |
| 250 | Nothing much happening today... just wanted to talk to you. |
| 500 | These past days... thank you. Knowing there's someone on the other side of the window, I'm not as panicked. |

| A pane of glass on the sunroom roof has come loose, and a strip of iron beside it snapped off — the wind pours in all night... Nothing I have can pry it back. Do you have any proper tools on your end? | Tools | 1 day | 30 + 5 per item | +10 |
| Oh no, it rained through the roof last night and all my stored grain got soaked and moldy. I haven't figured out where my next meal is coming from yet. Do you have any food supplies left? | Food | 1 day | 30 + 5 per item | +10 |
| The cold wave has hit, and it's so cold inside that water freezes instantly... The Fuel for heating ran out long ago. I'm wrapped in everything I can find, but I still can't get warm. Do you have anything left to burn over there? | Fuel | 1 day | 30 + 5 per item | +10 |
| The door frame got knocked loose again, worse than last time... I want to nail it tight myself, but I've run out of materials. Could I trouble you one last time? | Materials | 1 day | 30 + 5 per item | +10 |
| I've got a fever again... I'm telling you right away this time. I remember how to take the medicine from last time; I've just run out. Could you bring some more? | Meds | 1 day | 30 + 5 per item | +10 |
| That bar of soap's used up, and I've still kept the wrapper. I'm out of daily supplies again — do you have any? | Household | 2 days | 30 + 5 per item | +10 |
| The pot on the windowsill is growing faster than I expected, almost reaching the glass. I want to plant another one. This time, something that can bloom. Do you still have seeds? | Seeds | 2 days | 30 + 5 per item | +10 |

| The nails around the door frame have come loose. They rattled all night long, and the wood is starting to crack. I don't have anything to reinforce it with... If you have any spare materials over there, could you share some with me? | Materials | 3 days | 40 + 5 per item | +5 |
| I've received all the materials, but I don't have a single proper tool here. With just my bare hands, I can't even get the nails in. If you have any extras on your side, could you give me one? | Tools | 4 days | 40 + 5 per item | +5 |
| The bridge is down to its final section. The bridge planks need to be laid from my side, and both ends must be nailed securely. But I don't have enough materials... If you have extra planks or lumber on your side, please share some with me. Without even one piece, this bridge can't be completed. | Materials | 4 days | 40 + 5 per item | +5 |
