For context in the below panel, the girls just took photos together and is
heading home. I have trouble understanding the nuance of ...されて返ってくる.

[![](https://i.stack.imgur.com/JwI5V.jpg)](https://i.stack.imgur.com/JwI5V.jpg)

Why されて not して? Why it is passive? Also what 返ってくる means? Does it mean she
receives a modified two-shot photo?

P.S. Does 諦めている means already quit?

Understanding されて返ってくる
One thing is that the subject of 返ってくる is ツーショ, photo of two girls (Yuzu and
the one who is speaking) and it is more natural to use passive (photo is
affected by 顔ちっちゃくする and not doing 顔ちっちゃくする).

Another thing is so-called 迷惑の受け身 as mentioned e.g. in [this
question](https://japanese.stackexchange.com/questions/50421/how-to-
use-%E3%82%8F%E3%82%81%E3%81%8B%E3%82%8C%E3%81%9F/50432#50432). The sentence
suggests that Yuzu always makes the size of her own face smaller than the
speaker's, which kind of annoys the speaker. ('I'm damaged by making my own
face relatively bigger than Yuzu's'.)
