WE DID IT, GUYS!!!!! WOOOOOOOO!!! ٩(ᗒᗨᗕ)۶. Managing to raise $46,823 is amazing, and Meyaoi said/implied in her post that this final push over $45,000 was made due to those donating on the last day! So, thank you all so much who gave, you made Howl's route possible!
(For curiosity's sake, does anyone know if any other NPC's we purchased at the last minute? Either the Cat Cafe Owner or the Shop Owner? And I think it's cool that people can still design a few more Ranch employees :D)
