There is evidence that even minor head injury, not enough to cause immediate problems, can cause dementia later in life - at a younger age than it might otherwise happen. Generally this is the result of repeated minor injuries that you don't notice as an injury. For example football players are at risk.
I had a bad fall maybe 15 years ago, and was unconscious for no more than a second, but permanently lost some event memories. Also (f'rexample) - driving to visit my mother, I suddenly found myself in a place that it seemed I had never visited before. It was a route I had driven hundreds of times, but one part of it was wiped from my memory and looked like somewhere I had never seen. Luckily the road signs showed me I was in the right place.
I work as a freelance electronics designer. For about 6 months after the fall I could not understand how to operate some stuff I had designed, let alone understand how it worked. Luckily I recovered the ability to think and I'm working on interesting things, including the radio aspect of a smart city pilot project.
Concussion may not be the most effective way to resolve differences - unless it includes sufficient memory loss.
Ouch, that's an angle I hadn't considered.
But I don't think Mireya would go that far 🙂.

It's great that you recovered. Keep designing your circuits, sounds awesome.
I know movies and comics take the dangers of head injury too lightly and I may sometimes go with that flow without thinking.
But this is a cartoon and these sisters wouldn't ever injure each other.
Quite right :-) They seem pretty good siblings overall.

Talking while fighting is ALWAYS a good idea. Throws them off.
Oops! That's embarrassing. Fixed... Thanks!
Yes, Mireya's talkative nature is a good weapon against her sister.
Poor Aurora going down already. (Her center of gravity is behind her heels.)
These sisters have a strange relationship.
I don't draw a lot of fighting scenes. I guess Aurora isn't going to have a graceful landing.
Looking at panel 2 how many times has she connected already?
I guess like in 'connect a jab'? (I had to look it up).
I see how you could assume that, but Aurora (black gloves) is just supposed to be bored.
It looks like she has bruises on her face that prompted my comment.
Those little lines are my attempt to give her some distinctive features, but I guess they could look like bruises, poor woman 🙂.
