I saw this in an interview on the new Animal Crossing:

Kyogoku:

When an animal moves away from the town, a rectangular patch remains in the place where their house used to stand. When you see that and realize that this animal has moved away, it really makes you feel sad!

Moro:
But of course, little by little, the grass will grow back, and as the traces of where the animal’s house used to stand disappear, your memories of that animal will also fade.

I really like that.
