In "Persepolis", we can infer the following after looking at the panel where the narrator is pressed between her mother and grandmother:
- We can infer that the mother and the grandmother are speaking in hushed voices, which is why they are so close to each other to the point of pressing the narrator.
- We can also infer they are very worried about the narrator's father's safety, so they do not want the narrator to hear what they have to say.
"Persepolis" is a graphic novel by Marjane Satrapi based on her life experiences growing up in Iran.
At a certain point in the novel, when Marjane is just a child, her father goes out to take pictures of people demonstrating in the streets.
Taking pictures iss forbidden, and her father has even been in jail before.
In the panel mentioned in the question, Marjane's mother and grandmother are standing, close to each other, with little Marjane in the middle, pressed between them.
This panel helps us infer a couple of things. First, that the two women are speaking in low voices, which would explain why they are so close to each other.
Second, that they are extremely worried about the father and do not want Marjane to hear what they are saying.
