I'm getting mad Attack on Titan vibes. Almost feels like Thorfinn could have an Eren moment where he realizes that bloodshed is the only way to protect your own people from war.
But at the same time, Thorfinn isn't the kind of person to abandon all that he's learned in the past 200 chapters and so I'm honestly completely unsure of what the right answer even is.
Also, If Gudrid or the child die, I may cry myself to sleep that night lol.
