Kent Runs Away
This event will trigger when Kent has 160 affection level or higher. The player must go to bed between 6pm and 10:59pm.
Kent comes to the player's farm and asks if he could stay there, as he got into a fight with his grandfather over saving money to run a farm, but wants him to focus on his studies. Stu will come bursting into the house, saying that their grandfather is sick. The player will go with the boys to their house and see Degas in bed, being taken care by the Midwife. She tells the boys not to worry and that he will recover soon. Kent thanks the player, and asks him to come again.
