Panel 1: Earlier. Mom cooks: “I’ll cook. Can you handle the dishes tonight?” Maven: “Yes. I’ve got them.”

Panel 2: Later. Dishes fill the sink. Mom: “Whose turn was it?” Maven is looking at her phone.

Panel 3: Maven sets her phone down: “Mine. I forgot. I’ll do them now.” Mom: “Thanks.”

Panel 4: Maven washes and dries the dishes. The clean dishes are in the rack. No dialogue.

Panel 5: Afterward, on the phone. Maven: “I negotiated my independence. Then forgot the dishes.” Max: “Terrible timing.”

Panel 6: Maven: “Apparently adulthood still includes dishes.” Max: “I was hoping that was a high-school requirement.”
