She can't ask Yay, because she promised she'd keep it a secret, and she can't just watch without telling Marigold, because she knows Marigold doesn't want her to.

Or she could just ask Yah since they watch *everything all the time* anyway

No one tell Marigold that parents are the _only_ people who go to school plays. Wait, I meant "some one".

Marigold, maybe this is something to do with your own nervousness rather than a universal experience?

They didn't win that war by being particularly stealthy. Or disciplined.

Hanners could watch without Mar knowing, also.

Hannelore's and Marigold's friendship - despite any common frame of reference - continues to be one of the most adorable parts of a wildly adorable comic

I am 200% here for invisible emu security force. I mean, they won the war in Australia*, so of course they'd make excellent security — especially with added stealth.

Maybe she misses watching Mar-bear play games.

Maybe the reason she can live openly in Northhampton is that she has a super-stealthy security detail watching her all the time. Invisible emus or something.

We have an experience rupture, where one side simply can't understand the other's reaction to a scenario. Poor Marigold. All she wanted was advice and coffee.

Hanners DID watch Marigold play video games once, and Marigold forgot she was there and let one rip... mortifying Hanners completely.

Hanners assumes she’s being watched all the time, so she cannot understand why people would be nervous about it.

Hanners did speculate that Northampton was all a simulation for her benefit, so it stands to reason there would be gaps in the database. School plays being one of them.
