As someone who loves painting... That broke my heart. Plus, he worked on that for YEARS!! No one even acknowledged his hardwork! And it just got blown up with no one saying sorry?!? I WOULD HAVE DESTROYED EVERYTHING IN MY PATH IF THAT WAS ME! I feel so bad for him (plus, I have a soft spot for purple haired painters)

Yeah but like... Imagine working for YEARS on an artwork, only for someone to break it, for the person the artwork is for to disregard it, and even if they didn't, they still focused on "making up" with everyone while ignoring how much work you put up with just to present this art... Even if you "fix it" later on, the damage is already done (emotionally). And that sucks!

Sure the met at kids trope thus meant to be is a little overdone and cliche but c'mon! At least this is really a possible short encounter that kids can really forget! Like that friend you met at a playground when you were kids! unlike others that use this trope where one of them remembers because it becomes a memory they never forget or they were friends for a long time as kids so they should have at least felt familiar as adults! PLUS! THEY'RE SO ADORABLE!!! Idk this just feels like a fresh version of the cliche and I love it ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ノ~
