So what does the bit about it being "the last meal at the manor for a lot of people" mean?
Did I miss something about people not coming back or do they just mean for the year?
Here's my singular issue. How does Kenta have no money? He works 16 hours a day. He only needs to pay for his necessities and has no hobbies since he literally goes back and forth for work and his day off is spent running errands. What is there to spend money on so that he doesn't have any for a trip back home?
