Who: Yoshimi, open to all girls and any particularly adventurous boys
What: TEARS
Where: The school bathroom
When: After Misaki's speech
Why: Because crying in front of her whole homeroom would feel even worse.

Just after she's finished crying all over the first four paper towels, Yoshimi stops pretending that she's not upset. She is upset. Of course she's upset. There's not a boy in the school who'd touch her, it's her fault for not fitting in right, and Aoi-san just announced it over the PA system for anyone who didn't know yet. No wonder Furakawa-senpai had been seeing someone else, someone better.

The throwaway line about becoming a famous mangaka doesn't help help; she can hardly draw stick figures. Even if she did have what it took, even if she did get famous, it would be a small consolation prize.

She sniffles, wonders how she'll be able to face the rest of the school after this, and grabs a fifth paper towel.

Kiriko stood back, looking appraisingly at Yoshimi to evaluate the truth of Kozue's statement and watching her set up for far more than a general cleaning-up. She nodded, eventually. "If you aren't sure how else to wear it, I mean, we could probably help with that too."

She had already figured out where this was going and how it would help Yoshimi. That acting as a good samaritan happened to intersect with one of her spheres of interest was just a happy coincidence, naturally.

"Here, her skin tone's closer to mine," Kiriko said, stepping forward and withdrawing items from her purse. "So use this one. And I think a peach gloss would be better than a rose gloss, in her case..."

For the moment there was nothing they could do about the frumpy wardrobe, but that was correctable, too, provided the help they were giving Yoshimi extended beyond this particular incident in the girl's bathroom.

"You know, if you wanted, Kozue-san and I could teach you how to do this stuff yourself..." She made the offer coolly, with only a faint smile to suggest that she found the prospect of a makeover rather exciting.
