Best-fit zELDA Lyα profiles for the three alternative gas geometries, overlaid on the observed MUSE Lyα spectrum (black, with 1σ shading). The Bicone_X_Slab_Out model is shown in all panels as a red dashed line for comparison. The bottom panels show the residuals, demonstrating that Bicone_X_Slab_Out outperforms the other three geometries.
