TBH, it's a "complex? not really… is it?" territory bordering around the line of "actually might be canon" since there have been a "sighting" on a John almost-daily life mini series where John's spooked looking at the ceiling/corner of the room and there's "eyes" looking back that might indicate that it's haunted but there's no sign from the main manga or mentions in account jacks to really hold on that assumption that the apartment's haunted in anyway. It might just be a loitering vampire for all we know...

The thought intensified because during a mini account jack on twitter during the anime’s TV marathon reruns, Draluc asked how much is Ronald paying for his apartment(monthly) and we got the infamous "8000 yen" answer that Draluc’s even bewildered at how cheap it is.

-------------------

And while it's not really uncommon for places to be rented cheaper especially when owners just want the place to have a living person to occupy the place (but can't afford a caretaker) for whatever reason or if the place has a run down reputation that it's the best they can offer-- Ronald's space is still sus af.

Searching about it back then and now a 1room+bathroom type of apartment deal costs around than 50k yen... most simple 1-person apartment in Shin-Yokohama that’s smaller than Ronald’s is already at 100k yen/month, so 8k yen as Ronald's monthly rent counting that he also have his own office space, is a grain of sand in comparison.

In reference, this is the space that Ronald rents minus the hallway, stairs, gendered toilets across the office's door, etc.

I can’t recall if there’s any changes lately to this blueprint but it’s a p large area. We know that it just looks cramped but it's decently spacious for him and Draluc, so it's reasonable for people to be immediately suspicious and be alarmed with Ronald only paying 8k for this.

We still don’t know the story of how he obtained the apartment he’s living at so there might still be other reasonable explanations why it’s like that.

There was a mention in the official fanbook about her and she's loosely described as a "Young energetic woman who had a child with the Progenitor" and how "She asked him to suck her blood dry before her death".

People are assuming it's her from this old post (plausible but no confirmation!)

Which we got the conclusion that she's the mother of Draus, she might be a human who died eons ago (implications that Draus was a dhampir before fully turning into a vampire is high)
