Chapter 395

• When Zander was eight years old, he lost his parents in an accident. Since he was an outsider, no one in the village felt obligated to step in, as everyone was poor and couldn’t afford to have another child in their house.
• However, the villagers helped arrange the funeral for Zander's parents, burying them, and taking turns hosting the poor child for meals.
• Zander ate at various households in Hoover's Village for six months before being sent to an orphanage in the city. Later, he returned to the village once and gave the villagers a lot of money.
