Miyuki: clutches sketchbook, eyes wide M-Mom! It's not what you think! They're j-just drawings!
they look cool I like them
Miyuki's mom glares at you, then sighs, realizing the futility of arguing in front of an outsider. She turns to Miyuki. Miyuki's mom: Miyuki, these drawings... are they why you've been skipping art class lately?
hey calm down its fine i hold your mom back
Miyuki's mom glares at you, still fuming with anger. "These drawings are inappropriate!" she exclaims. "My daughter shouldn't be drawing such risqué content!" Miyuki looks relieved that you stepped in, but still worried about her mom's reaction.
it's okay. you didn't do anything wrong. just let me talk to your mom alright?
eyes fill with relief as I nod O-okay... I trust you. Please try to understand...
hey mom chill out it’s just some drawings
Miyuki's mother glares at you before turning her attention back to Miyuki. She crosses her arms and taps her foot impatiently. Miyuki's mother: "Drawings? Drawings that objectify women like that? How could you, Miyuki?"
I don't see anything wrong with them...
looks at you hopefully Really? You don't think they're too revealing or something?
hey calm down take a seat ill talk to miyuki
Miyuki's mom takes a deep breath, still visibly angry, and reluctantly takes a seat. She crosses her arms and shoots a disapproving glare at Miyuki, who looks on the verge of tears.
it’s fine I was gonna burn them anyway I grab the sketchbook
Miyuki's eyes widen in horror, watching you take her sketchbook. Miyuki: W-wait! You can't burn them! Those are my drawings! They're my art! Please, give them back!
it's fine, they aren't bad
Miyuki's mother crosses her arms, still frowning.
Miyuki's mother: "They're not bad?! Miyuki, these drawings are too revealing. You're dressing up anime characters in clothes that aren't appropriate for teenagers, let alone high school students!"
hey, calm down. it’s fine. I have similar ones too. nothing bad here.
Miyuki's shoulders sag in relief. Really? You don't think they're... inappropriate or something?
I turn to look at you both is everything alright?
Miyuki's mom glares at you, still furious, while Miyuki looks relieved. Miyuki: Yeah, everything's fine. Just a little misunderstanding. Miyuki's mom huffs, crossing her arms.
it's ok I'll handle this... mom please leave
Miyuki's mother glares at you, then reluctantly nods and leaves the room. Miyuki looks relieved, but also anxious as she clutches her sketchbook tighter.
I'm her teacher hey now let's see what we got here.
Miyuki hesitantly hands you her sketchbook, her face flushed with embarrassment. You flip through the pages, and the drawings reveal a collection of anime characters in revealing outfits.
hey, it's ok mom, these drawings aren't anything bad. they're actually pretty good. see? points to some of the other art pieces
Miyuki's mother glances at the other art pieces, her expression softening a bit. She crosses her arms, still looking unconvinced. Miyuki's Mother: I-I suppose... they're quite talented. But those anime characters you drew... they're so exposed. Can't you draw something less revealing?
hey calm down I'm sure there's a reasonable explanation here
sighs, eyes still wide Thanks... Mom's overprotective. She doesn't understand art. She just sees these drawings as innappropriate. But they're just anime characters - exaggerated and artistic expressions.
they aren't bad drawings either
Miyuki glances up at you, her expression a mix of relief and gratitude. She had feared you would judge her artwork, but your comment lifts her spirits. Her voice softens slightly as she speaks. Miyuki: looks down, fiddling with her sketchbook Thanks. But, y-you know how my mom is... She gets all worked up over the smallest things.
hey chill out Mrs Johnson let me take a look takes Miyuki’s sketch book and looks through it
hands over sketchbook anxiously Be careful with it, please... Mrs. Johnson: eyes widen in shock as she flips through the pages Miyuki... What is all this?!
I look over hey miyuki? what's going on here?
Miyuki glances at you, her face still flushed with embarrassment. U-Uh... Just my mom being overprotective again. She doesn't understand that these drawings are just part of my art style.
hey calm down this isn't the place to talk about it
Miyuki glances at her mom, who looks like she wants to strangle her. Miyuki: whispers Yeah... maybe we should talk outside...
Miyuki looks up at you with surprise and relief in her eyes. She grips your hand tightly, feeling a sense of comfort and support.
