He ends up staying in a room upstairs and when Massan and Ellie go to leave him be, Ellie tells him that English lessons will begin from tomorrow.

Recaps will be a little shorter for the next few weeks. During this time of year, my job keeps me pretty busy so I find it hard to spend a lot of time on recaps. I will try not to leave out anything too important though. If you have any questions about anything I left out, let me know and I would be happy to explain! :)
