Originally it was going to be another few chapters before we saw Zaynab’s cat (who is actually my cat), but then I added this scene in and it just made sense to keep things interesting by switching points of view to see the inside of Zaynab’s house. She must have a setting on her hologram so that she displays with her hijab even when she’s not wearing it (why would she be wearing it at home). I also had to figure out what she looks like without it, since I’ve never drawn her that way before.

Panel 1: Zaynab is sitting in her bedroom with a cat on her lap. She has glasses and short hair. She's talking to Maida via hologram, still. Maida: "Oh, hey! While you're here, I need your help. Or your advice, I guess."
Panel 2: Maida: "It's about Tahmaseb. I need a second opinion on something."
Panel 3: Zaynab: "Oh, Maida! You know I don't know anyfing about boys."
Panel 4: Maida: "Well! I can't ask my mum or my aunt. This isn't a boy problem so much as an Earth problem, basically."
Panel 5: Maida: "Please, Zaynab! I need to talk to someone." Zaynab puts the cat off her lap. Zaynab: "Ohhh! I guess! I'll try my best!"
Panel 6: Zaynab: "You almost never follow my advice, so I don't need to worry too much about leading you down the wrong way."
Panel 7: Maida: "That's not fair! I do take your advice! Just... not always. I still want to hear it."
