Switch Abigail's strange path after she wins the Egg Hunt in even years

[nymphshs]

I participated in the Egg Hunt in year 2 (an even year) and Abigail won. In the result cutscene I found that her path to receive her prize was probably inappropriate. It was as follows. Leo has not moved to the valley.

1. Abigail is initially at the lower left of Lewis
2. Lewis says the winner is Abigail
3. Abigail jumps and walks upward
4. Lewis tells her to receive the prize
5. Abigail walks upward
6. The game plays the sound which indicates she gets the prize, but neither Lewis nor something like a gift box is in front of her (see year2.jpg)
7. Abigail walks downward

I realized that her movement is the same in odd and even years though her initial position is different. I confirmed in my main save (where Leo has moved to the valley) that she was just under Lewis and properly received the prize from him in year 11 (an odd year).

I have had a similar issue with the Junimos; after finishing a bundle they will carry the box or star to the hut or the painting/mural. But sometimes they just don't have anything in their arms.
