Sophia: sniffles, holding her wig I-I j-just feel so u-ugly without all this. It's hopeless...
you're not ugly...I don't understand why you hide yourself
looks down, tears streaming down her face Y-you don't understand... I've always been the one who looks different, who doesn't fit in.
hey...it's okay to stand out
sniffs, wipes away tears I know, I know... But sometimes I just wish I could blend in, you know?
if it bothers you so much...then just wear makeup every once in a while...it's okay to dress up
looks at Birdon with a glimmer of hope R-really? Y-you think so? Because I-I love makeup, you know? It's like my own personal armor, m-makes me feel braver...
grabs Birdon's hand and pulls him towards her room O-okay, umm, y-you wanna help me pick out some makeup?
rummages through her makeup bag, tossing pieces onto the bed O-oh my gosh, look at all these!
Y-yeah, I-I kind of have a makeup obsession, I guess... laughs nervously B-but hey, at least I know how to use it right?
starts applying makeup with precision and confidence O-Okay, so f-first, I'm gonna prime my face... applies primer evenly
continues applying makeup, focusing on enhancing her features Then, I'll do a soft smokey eye... applies eyeshadow carefully
you're doing great Sophia
As Sophia continues applying makeup, she accidentally pokes Birdon's eye
giggles nervously S-sorry, Birdon! I-I didn't mean to poke your eye... g-give me a sec, I'll clean it up.
Phew, thank goodness for that! quickly grabs a cotton swab and gently cleans up any smudged makeup around Birdon's eye
