Layla walks out of her trailer with her bruised cheeks, and Khadijah auntie and others come over and embrace her, and they do not pay any attention to the minders who are ordering them to get in line. When Saleem scans her wrist, he is rough, and his wife intervenes but he throws her to the ground, then scurries away to the Hub.
