sousuke: do you know why i asked you to come into my office?
makoto: .... because i accidentally sent you a dick pic?
sousuke, pouring wine into two wine glasses: wait-- you said accidentally?
So I saw this pic and it was Soumako material Sousuke was shopping with their child and he took a picture of a shoe for the kid and sent it to Makoto. He's like "u like these???" Then the picture shows a child on the floor and him holding the shoe. And Mako's like, "Sou." "Why is my child on the floor?"
This is what I think the free! staff did when they wanted brief Soumako interaction:
Leader: *slams hand onto whiteboard with a large Sousuke and Makoto print* okAY
Leader: WE JUST HEARD THAT THERE ARE PEOPLE SHIPPING THESE TWO
Leader: And I need ideas for these two on the OVA asap
Employee 1: How about we make them meet unexpectedly and they chat and get to know more each other?
Leader: fuck no jerry coME ON PEOPLE WE NEED MORE
Employee 2: hoW ABOUT WE TAKE MAKOTO
Employee 2: AND MAKE HIM STAND NEXT TO SOUSUKE IN SOME OF THE FRAMES AND HAVE THEM ON A FIRST-NAME BASIS AND POSSIBLY NOT MAKE THEM INTERACT MORE?
Employee 1: I don't thin-
Leader: GODDAMMIT IT DIO, YOU'RE A FUCKING GENIUS! GIVE THIS MAN A RAISE.
Me interviewing KyoAni
Me: So... Now that we've cleared out the normal stuff.....
Me: How long are you going to keep Sousuke and Makoto apart.
Me: Why. They're so close yet so far. Why aren't you lETTING THEM INTERACT
