Just to clarify, because it came up last week … no, that guy in the chair is not Straw. Straw is, like, suuuper dead :)
(In fact Straw is that “your agent” this survivor is talking about in panel 2)
Announcement: As every year, I’m going to take a short break between the years – two weeks where I’ll just be posting some random artworks. Next week will still be a normal page (well … more or less normal, you’ll see ;) ) but after that there will be two weeks of filler, with the regular story resuming on 2022-01-09. Thanks!

Survivor: Er ... y-yes? Nobody every steals from her and lives!

Maybe you should add a “random baroc survivor” tag to the previous page *g*
And I still suspect that even Straw’s soul got eaten …
Well … no comment about what happened to Straw’s soul. Or the souls of all the other people Shara killed in with the Sword ;)
