Nikita: My brother and I were sold into the military when we were kids!
Steffano: This is a commonly known fact.
Panel 5:
Nikita looks somehow more angry, almost explosive as he continues, gesturing. Steffano is just quietly listening to the show.

Panel 6:
Steffano, sternly: You mean, like a slave.
Panel 7:

aAAHH SUDDEN FEELS
AND SALARY
Ok that’s a big bad sign about their government :0c
you mean the government buys people? nothing wrong with that!!
They seem a little like Janissaries, then.
Interesting!! I suppose, in a way, since they do get paid but don’t get to choose much.
buying kids and accepting bribes from rich families, the government is off to a good start here!!
nothing to see here!
He earns a salary. So not slavery; it’s wage slavery – completely different.
It’s like an indentured servant, which is totally not a slave… at least after you have paid off your crippling debt. At that point, you’re just garbage and good luck finding food.
good luck finding a new job with your extremely specialized skillset now
