>>105996811>It's reasonable to assume that she is able to cobble together a few hundred dollars for split rent.In other parts of the country, it would be. But the story takes place in a prohibitively expensive hipster college town, and even the characters have mentioned they have a particularly high cost of living even for apartment rental. A lot of the people that live there are college kids with rich parents that are only gonna be there a couple years at most (like Jeph was when he lived there).
Hopefully Jeph remembers all this and the story turns in the direction of Renee and Brun finding a place and needing more roommates to help, to liven things up and make the end result of this plot not completely useless.
It does raise the question, of course, of how Renee could afford even a one bedroom apartment all on her own while only working in a shitty hipster bakery.
