The rite of Salmiakki repeats once again... Illumi is a diplomat: she'd never be found gagging at a local delicasy.

Thank you sm to my friend @organhound for collabing again! This time we made some movie posters for the backround. ...Erm, which would you rather go see? :P
Btw, this comic is not focused on romance and I'm not planning to explore any characters-getting-together plotlines. 🙏 If something happens that makes you wanna ship character you're free to do so, but don't expect any canon validation!
Anyway! We've reached page 100 for Chapter 2 :] I coloured it as a celebration of the occasion. There's still a few scenes of this chapter to go, but still: thanks for sticking around this far!
The song being referenced is Ukkometso by Pate Mustajärvi. The specific section is at 2:05 exactly. I'll leave an attempt of a translation below the cut. I'd describe the song as a patriotic but negative bar crawl song, a kind of "its our culture to be sad and drunk" message. It's definitely a little silly to include, but it felt fitting to the vibe of the scene, since I'm going for a "leaving a party gone bad" tone.
No, Reiska laittaa soimaan vielä yhden laulun
Well, Reiska puts on one more song
Ja itkee sitten yhden kyyneleen
And cries just one tear
Se laulu kertoi meistä
That song is a tale about us
Onnen enkeleistä
The lucky angels
Jotka Pohjantähden alla asustaa
Who live under the northern star
