Panel 1: Maida: "My mum's boss was always worried about deportation, but we thought he was just being paranoid."
Panel 2: Maida puts her head in her hands. Maida: "I guess since school has been over I just don't know any other fugees."
Panel 3: There are tears at the corners of her eyes as she looks at the others. Maida: "Maybe it's not entirely my fault my family was deported?"
Panel 4: Zaynab, comforting her: "Oh, Maida!" Khadija: "I'm sure you'll be okay. You have a visa for Zhongshan Daxue, yeh? They'd never deport a shidafu."
Panel 5: Khadija: "My parents are worried about our nanny, who's a fugee. She's bin here since before I was born."
Panel 6: Zaynab: "Khadija's parents are sudras." Khadija: "All of us kids are grown now, but they can't let her go, because she's have to leave Earth!"
Panel 7: Khadija: "She's in such a tight spot! She's got her own kids now. What are they supposed to do if their mum gets sent to Ganymede?"
