"If you get too cold you’ll fall into torpor, and you won’t wake up ‘til Running.” “Running?! But I’ll sleep right through Giving Day!” That was all the incentive Nan needed to stay in their little cottage until the snows stopped.

After receiving millions of Neopoints, gifts, gratitude, and all the likes, he would retire to his home and live comfortably.
