I finally figured out what this reminds me of: Doonesbury! The larger context of relationships and history, alluded to in a sharply etched incident. The wordless reaction of the protagonist - the eyes tell us everything. Well done!
Thanks; it took a while to figure out how to condense a bigger setting and story down to the one page (while still making a commentary on the "panopticon of benevolence")

Never read Doonesbury but I'm certainly curious! Long-running strip not only Calvin and Hobbes, right?
Still running new strip on Sundays, reruns during the week. Continuing characters began as college students, now are senior citizens.
Well said and I like the progression of the conversation.
