- Sarah and Elliot decided to give dating a try off panel. Way to not show that, 2002 me!

I initially drew Sarah in this storyline without a hairband for a change of pace, but I found myself almost immediately missing it. Looking back at earlier strips in the storyline, I find myself thinking she looks okay without it... I'm going to be going back on forth on whether I prefer she wear it, aren't I? Ah well. I made a decision, and she wearing one now.

On the plus side, this meant I could make her decision to put on the hairband fit into the story itself. I don't want to tell instead of show via commentary, but I will say she's not just putting it on to make me happy. She has feelings that are making her want to try and look her best right now.

...Okay, that was a little "tell", but darn it, sometimes that happens with commentaries, and her hairband was what I wanted to comment on. It was either that, or three paragraphs about how I like her "eep" pose.
