Parents die>all staff leave ( lack of $ to pay them, I presume)>(no family show to take him or adopt?, No family try to move in or take the state from him?) New maid shows and got hired(at this point I think said maid is paying little master for the privilege of work for him and secretly funding the state expenses)>Maid die of an specialy embarrassing comment made by little master> with no $ left to maintain the state or pay taxes, little master start to live in the streets and dies shortly after> they are reunited in the afterlife and is maid victory because she can't die of embarrassment anymore>the end.
