the lipsync on the first character seems to be a bit delayed, and their body motions are over-acted/exaggerated. The second character is well animated, has good lipsync, and the story concept is very interesting.

Ben Zingo

"5 years" seems quite delayed/behind the audio.
The initial pose also makes sense in hindsight, but it's not immediately clear that she's hiding/is afraid. More turning away, wincing, flinching, or slowly moving away might help convey the idea.
Miming out "5 years" with 5 fingers also seems a little unnecessary

Expressions and models were solid. Good animation. I would have slowed up and held the moment a little bit more right at the end while she's dropping the chemical. Speed up to poor and slow down to drop it.

Etienne Massot

Second character animation is great

Jay Whitt

The roles are switched.

nice, a little more push is needed though.
