Let's go with option 2 - play a "complication".So while Tee's racing against time to prep for Lagos Fashion Week, she discovers something about Mrs. Okafor's motives that adds fuel to the "traditional vs. modern" design fire at Sooki...Turns out: Mrs. Okafor is _super_ connected to one of Lagos's "fashion royalty" families - the Ogundipes (their annual "Aso Ebi" couture show is basically Lagos fashion's biggest traditional stamp of approval). And the Ogundipes have been quietly pushing Mrs. Okafor to make sure Sooki's LFW collection leans _hard_ traditional... because they're (for old-school "family prestige" reasons) wanting to "showcase" a rising Naija designer... but strictly via "respectable" (read: ultra-traditional, high-end Ankara/Aso Oke heavy) lines.Problem for Tee: if Sooki submits a modern-minimalist collection (which is Tee's vision), the Ogundipes will yank their "support" (read: guaranteed big orders, prime LFW slot, major PR push) AND Mrs. Okafor will basically lose face/influence in Lagos fashion circles... and might pull funding/force Tee out of Sooki entirely if Tee doesn't comply.BUT... if Tee _does_ comply and Sooki does "royal-traditional" for LFW... Tee's basically sacrificing her own design voice/brand for... what? Mrs. Okafor's "connections"? The Ogundipe "stamp"? Does Tee cave to "success" like this?Meanwhile, Femi's still being "distractingly" cute-clueless around the boutique, _apparently_ oblivious to how much Tee's stressing about this whole Sooki/Ogundipe mess... but he _does_ notice Tee's withdrawn/"zoned out" and tries to "help" in his own hapless way... like, he starts making these _adorable_ (but completely off-brief) little Ankara-print scrunchies as a "surprise" for Tee, thinking it'll "cheer her up"... leaving Tee both touched and more frazzled ("Femi, I don't need scrunchies RIGHT NOW...").Mum's still on Tee's case about "when are you marrying", btw, and somehow managed to "accidentally" invite the whole Ogundipe family (including Arin, the "eligible" Ogundipe son who's Lagos "it"-bachelor material) to Sooki's pre-LFW boutique "preview" party... like, Mum's trying to "help" with connections AND marriage prospects at once... and Tee's inner monologue is "THIS IS GETTING WILD".So now Tee's got:- Pressure to make "royal-traditional" clothes for LFW (vs. her own vision)- Mum's meddling + "marriage via fashion" looming- Femi's sweet-but-clueless distractions- Her own stubborn-but-scared creativity fighting back...Do you wanna:1. Have Tee _rebel_ a tiny bit - like, she sneaks one _super_ modern piece into the Sooki collection (against Mrs. Okafor's orders) and hopes nobody "rats" her out before LFW...2. Play "Mum ups the ante" - like, she basically "orders" Tee to wear an _actual_ (gorgeous, beaded, ultra-traditional) Ogundipe-commissioned outfit to the Sooki preview party... and "represent"... or else...3. Have Femi _accidentally_ "spoil" the surprise scrunchies (like, he leaves them in the boutique "heat" and they melt/get ruined...) and Tee ends up laughing-crying about "why is everything
