    I like that Ari’s fashion sense apparently hasn’t changed since she was like 4 lol

    ARI! Oh my god, I love that they grew up together, I hadn’t considered that as an option at all. She really looks like her mom, that’s so adorable. I love for Meriam that she was able to find a support network amongst other women in (somehwat) similar situations as her.
     

    And oof. Two beds and one bath with four children is really not ideal. I hope the grumpy old man neighbour at least left them alone.
     

    The description (finally, age appropriate big-sister responsibilities for Shez) nearly made me cry. She’s been through so much already that no child should ever have to face, and I hope she gets to have a little childhood back.

      Yesssss I’ve been so excited to share the childhood connection between Shez and Ari 🥰🥰 there’s more where that came from too 😎
       
      I imagine Meriam took one room with the newborn Christina, and worked with Shez to make the second bedroom “fun” for the little ones. Can’t afford bedframes? No, but three mattresses lined up on the floor means lots of soft area to do summersaults and cartwheels.
       
      It definitely wouldn’t have been easy to adjust after moving from a much nicer house, but certainly beats the alternative 😔
       
      Feels great to share some more light-hearted moments of Shez’s childhood too. She deserves them. You can look forward to seeing more happy moments with her 🥰

    Ari seems like a mix of my sister and me: same fashion sense for her entire life like me, following people around with an instrument just to annoy them like my sister (but change it to a kazoo or a guitar… and make the primary target of harassment my mom.)

    HAHAH SHEZ AND ARI BEING CHILDHOOD FRIENDS IS SO CUTE 🙂 <3

    But Shez… my girl… WHY did you have to date my wife instead of Ari… 😒

      You might wanna re-check their ages, breastie 😅😅
      They are 10 years apart in age (21 and 31 in the present day of the comic). Ari is the same age as Rissa. Shez was 14 when they escaped Chris, making Ari 4 years old atm.
       
      She is absolutely like a 4th little sister to Shez.
