I‘ve drawn the chairs wrong the entire chapter lol
The list on this page actually hints that Valerie had 7 children in total, 3 died in infancy. So the family is kind of used to getting things from a deceased sibling reposessed by the company. But not with someone in Marielle’s age…They are the crossed out lines. Victorian era child mortality rate amirite??
Look, Zazu and Vince may be the MCs, but Ruth and Valerie are the real heroes here
