Well, bye Val, we’ll probably see you a bit during the Quarantine with the Vampires stories if those continue but otherwise BYYYEEEE-
I suspect that we will SEE her die. Doesn’t the timeline match?

3004: Outbreak of a new brumavirus leads to illness, deaths, shutdowns, and travel restrictions throughout Sønheim.
3013, Summer: Volume 4.
We are now in Volume 5. So, the brumavirus happened “almost 10 years ago”.
Thanks for reminding me I hadn’t updated that in a few storylines ^^
Why did Leif think he was paying off Valrun’s debt, otherwise?
…I mean, yeah, it’s Sonheim, but why did Leif “my indentured servitude is completely fair and justified” think he got that debt?
Maybe he thought that the debt was so high he had to come along, because they knew it was more than a lifetime?
He didn’t go into servitude because his parents were dead. He went in as soon as he was old enough for it to be legal, and Valrún was still alive at that point.
But in https://leifandthorn.com/comic/quarantine-with-the-vampire-part-4-20-21/ Valrun’s trying to stay alive because she thought that would save Leif from lifetime servitude?
(Or is her service what would make the difference between “50 years” and “life”?)
Maybe it’s the difference between “50 years” and “life”. Or the Judge who explained her what will happen when she dies didn’t bothered to explain what will happen when she doesn’t.
I’ve interpreted that to be the state lying to Valrun. They never planned to spare Leif; he’s free labor for them! I’ll admit it’s a very cynical interpretation XP
That sure is what she thinks, all right!
I’m guessing that when Leif said how much his debt was itnwas going on the assumption his mother was still alive and paying it off. Now that (he knows) she’s dead he would know his debt has increased.
I don’t think so.
I see two possibilities: First, he checked for the amount after his mom died – he didn’t remembered or didn’t ever know the value from before that so no suspicion.
Second, the debt is like shared. He said total value and didn’t mentioned the assumption two people are working on paying that off because, well, it didn’t mattered anyway.
