The last strip was important, because I've been wanting to point out for awhile that Aylia really has been held back for four years by her mother -- not just two.  When she was sixteen, Aylia's father promised she coudl go to the wizarding school when she turned eighteen, and Aylia found the prospect of this two-year delay infuriating -- but she took it semi-patiently.  But then he broke his promise when Lettie sobbed over the prospect of Aylia leaving to go there, hence the events in the story's beginning.
