Rain
Comic 776 - Nosy
Author Notes:
Once Emily's design for this chapter was first shown, there were a lot of questions about whether or not she would mention her pregnancy to Chanel and Maria. The answer: Nope! The "thick, oversized sweater" is used here to cloak her belly, much in the way her school blazer does. For Chanel, this plan works. But Maria already knows Emily's pregnant and is smart enough to put two and two together.
Despite their turbulent relationship, Maria is genuinely concerned and wants Emily to open up about it to her. Hence, her question about the sweater. It's not the first time she's tried to get her to talk about it. It probably won't be the last.
As for Maria's other bit of prodding, she asks about her and Rain's relationship, notably referring to Emily's considering offering her hair to Rain and "the ear touching thing".
And I'm sure a lot of readers might get mad at Maria for getting all up in her business, but I know for a fact that at least like 70% of you want to know the answers to these questions too. And it's not like Emily's never been pushy or pried for information before... :P

Also Chanel is still an adorable snowflake.
They're there. It's just such a small image so you can't really see it too well.
