Gaining Social Stats

The protagonist gains points by doing activities that increase Social Stats. The exact amount of points given is hidden in-game and instead expressed visually through the game's UI with musical note icons. The visual musical notes represent a range of points; two activities might both show 3 music notes, but give totally different amounts of points.
