Panel 1:
Nikita, looking tense. He scratches his neck and sighs.
Nikita: You know, my brother and I... Our father. It's a long story.
Panel 2, 3
Steffano looks directly at Nikita. Nikita holds his eyes.
Steffano: We have time.
Panel 4:
Nikita seems annoyed, and when he talks it's as if he spits.
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.
Nikita: But it's not just the military school and service you're bound to; You gotta earn what the empire invested on you and basically stay around for as long as you're of value!
Panel 6:
Steffano, sternly: You mean, like a slave.
Panel 7:
Nikita interrupts Steffano and his gaze is pretty threatening.
Nikita: NO! It's totally different! I earn a salary!

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.
Socialist proverb, “We pretend to work, they pretend to pay us.” As far as I know, though we’ve not checked it as often as “He who doesn’t steal, steals form his family.”, every single Marxist regime has people saying this frequently (when people are confident that they are not being spied upon).
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
“Sure, I was good with a bayonet, but you can’t put that on a resume. It puts people off.” Frank Barone
IT’S JUST SLAVERY WITH EXTRA STEPS NIKITA.
