Withered Roses: How to Bake a Loaf of Bread - Character Ages

In the first book of Withered Roses, How to Bake a Loaf of Bread, not every neighbor would have moved in yet. Robertsky and the Cappuccins move in shortly. I surprisingly have an age for everybody at this point in the story considering I was originally going to write it with all the neighbors moved in (the youngest besides Anastacha is still Robertsky, he's 19).

It goes in order of youngest to oldest, so Nacha is 21 and Albertsky is 25. Alf, who will move in soon with his girlfriend, is the oldest at 61. (Mclooy is only retired at the age he is because he had a big boy job and I was too lazy to give him an occupation lmao, like mfs probably too old to be out training people so what do I give him, the title of a long hat connoisseur? Nah lmao Steven would never let him live that down.) There's a slight age gap between him and his girlfriend, but I'll say now that nothing bad will come from that. They just simply fell in love at a different time than most people would expect. Baring in mind this is a prequel, so my headcanon of their actual ages in-game are different to these.

Towards the final few chapters, there will be a bit of a skip and some characters will likely turn older, but I'll probably wait until the 2nd book before I update it. Maybe, who knows. I'm thinking I'll probably just do dumb memes of the characters inbetween chapters lmao when giving updates on chapters so it keeps things fresh rather than 'here is a large block of text to read :D'. As for the chapters, I'm getting out of some writers block so expect an actual better update on them soon!
