The part with the manager was easily the most touching thing I've seen in a manga PERIOD. Someone saw that he was not where he used to be emotionally. They took him aside, got him a nice, warm, healthy meal and asked him how he was doing. No strings attached. They aren't trying to sleep with him. They don't want his money. They don't need a favor. They just gave him some good old human warmth and companionship because they care about HIM. And he needed that.
