You were doing makeup one day just for fun while watching Yuji, and he tilts his head.
“What’s this do?” He grabs a blush brush.
“Oh, it’s to make your cheeks all rosy.”
“Can I?” He brings the brush to your cheeks.
“Yeah, go ahead.” You smile and let him do your makeup.
When Choso walks in, he sees you all dolled up, Yuji actually did a good job with your instructions.
“What’s the occasion?” Choso smiles.
“Yuji wanted to do my makeup.”
“Looks good, good job, Yuji.”
“Thanks!” Yuji grins, putting your lipgloss on your lips and offering to do Choso’s next.
“Oh, I’m not sure…”
“Come onnn! It’ll be fun!” You smile. “I bet you'll look super cute.”
Choso looks at you and Yuji’s pleading expressions and sighs, you both make him cave so easily.
“Alright, alright, I guess…”
“Yay!” Yuji giggles and you help him push Choso’s hair out of his face and apply the right amounts of foundation and contour.
“Okay, remember what I said about blending it in?”
“Mhm!” Yuji nods and smiles, focusing on making the makeup blend nicely.
“That’s looking really good, Yuji. Better than how I do it…” you mumble.
Choso smiles and Yuji smacks his arm. “You can’t move your face! I almost messed up!”
Choso laughs and so do you. “Sorry, Yuji, I’ll keep a straight face now.”
Yuji huffs and continues working, taking his beauty guru job very seriously right now. You take over the eye makeup, leaning close to Choso and focusing on putting good eye shadow on him and a cute eyeliner design with a heart on the tails.
“Mkay, now open your eyes.”
Choso opens his eyes and sees how close you two are. “…how’s it look…?”
“Good.” You smile.
Yuji pops back in between you two and puts your lipgloss on Choso’s lips.
“Now you’re pretty!” Yuji grins.
“Can I see?” Choso asks.
You take a selfie with Choso and Yuji to show him the makeup. “I’ll send it to you.”
“Thanks.”
“Mkay, I’ll see you tomorrow!” You smile and wave, not noticing Choso set the selfie as one of his wallpapers for his lock screen.
He does look pretty, but he’ll always think you’re prettier.

Just saw How Do You Live (Boy and the Heron). In short, it delivered but this isn't a review, we're chatting about a single animator. Avoiding all trailers I was surprised to see this opening scene:
That's definitely Shinya Ohira, I thought.
Often I wonder about the process of an artist bringing a concept to reality. Starting life as an idea, it gets filtered, drained and blemished through the process of reaching the audience.
When I see Ohira's scenes I become aware of my heartbeat as if it's synchronizing with his.
Though I first saw his work on Akira, this short from the Animatrix was THE ONE. I still call it "Ya Know, The Skateboard Kid" and people know exactly what I'm talking about.
Ohira's opening scene in How Do You Live was left uncorrected which worked with the nightmarish atmosphere of the sequence. I'd imagine bringing his work on-model has to be hell.
You're watching an anime and suddenly, THAT SCENE pops up. Kill Bill, Howl's Moving Castle, Ping Pong, you know the ones.
In animation, they want you to stay on-model, keep the show cohesive, but speaking as one that works in the industry, I want to be seen.
You're watching something and get asked, "Wanna see something really cool?" and you get this crazy animation flex. I want to see artist go wild. Gimme THAT SCENE!
