Panel 1: The next evening, Max calls Maven: “I keep thinking I should’ve stayed. Everybody’s graduating. I feel behind.” She has a sketchbook of visual identity ideas open.

Panel 2: Maven: “Have you checked which credits transfer? You could still apply for fall.”

Panel 3: Max: “I didn’t ask for a plan.”

Panel 4: Maven: “You said you were doing fine. I didn’t know.”

Panel 5: Max: “I know. I kept saying that.” Then: “I’m sorry I snapped. I needed you to hear me first.”

Panel 6: Maven: “I went straight to fixing it. What were you trying to tell me?”

Closing question: What changes when you ask for the support you actually need?
