Short summary: Saki does Kotomi’s makeup for the first time.
“Are you serious?”
Kotomi scrutinizes the combination of items that have been placed in front of her. Perhaps it is unfair for her to judge all these peach and pink powders when she has never worn makeup. Why would she? She stays inside most of the time.
“I want you to trust me.”
Saki, though, wears makeup every day. She’s put it on herself and on plenty of other people. She’s probably an expert.
“It’ll be great. I know exactly what I want to do.”
Kotomi bites her lip. She doesn’t want to complain when it isn’t justified. Because Saki is… Saki reached out to her. Saki found her.
Kotomi closes her eyes. She has decided to trust.
A few minutes later, Saki claps her hands. “Done! Take a look!”
Kotomi opens her eyes. It is her face in the mirror, but… More polished? The makeup doesn’t feel overdone, though. Kotomi finds herself at a loss of words to describe her feelings. She hasn’t cared about looking beautiful before, but this is… nice?
“You’ve always been pretty, but you look like a doll now.” Saki hugs Kotomi from behind. “Just like I imagined.”
“Wait, what do you mean…”
Kotomi’s protest is cut short by a camera sound. Saki giggles at the photo she’s taken of the two of them.
“I can’t wait to share this with everybody!”
“Saki!”
Too late, the photo has already been sent. But Kotomi supposes that if Saki’s happy, then she isn’t too mad about it…
