Summary
"[...] in Galar you give the one you want to spend the rest of your life with an Applin."

Summary
You might know of the trope where, in Galar, Applins mean "I want to spend the rest of my life with you". This is me wondering what they could possibly mean elsewhere. As the title implies, specifically in Kitakami.
