Lately, everyone's been talking about the major turnaround in Naylor's life.
Naylor quit his job at the motorsports club. It seems like Reggie's brush with death, trying to save him, really got under his skin. He ditched his beloved racing career to start learning the ropes of business from Kearney, aiming to make a name for himself at the Albert's Arms, a prominent establishment.
The Albert's Arms had taken a huge hit recently, losing seven of its key members in a tragic incident. With many of its associated groups now leaderless, Kearney took it upon himself to unify these groups, centralizing power but also piling on the responsibilities. So, having Naylor around to help was a godsend to him.
Although Kearney also reached out to Elton, he turned down the offer. Apart from personal reasons, he didn't have much of a connection to Albert's Arms. Elton left a day earlier. He just said goodbye to his godfather, leaving everyone else in the dark about his whereabouts.
Nate went back too. After facing a life-and-death ordeal, Nate became even more withdrawn, rarely speaking, blending into the background like a ghost. Agnes, worried, wanted Nate to come back with them to Willowbrook Town. But Nate insisted on staying in the Capital. Agnes didn't push it, simply leaving him a key to their house, telling him he's welcome anytime he needs a change of scenery.
