I think I see the issue now

Basically my and state should be in the same scope, but state just holds value through iterations. So the my declaration should hold after the until modifer is executed, as it does with the state declaration.

I'm kind of wondering if 'our' gets restricted to what 'my' should do by this behaviour

First time I thought of using our to declare lexicality while using the same variable more than once in an expression.
