Event | Act 3.5 Event - NEW ERA GARDEN | Chapter 9
*Contains spoilers for Act 12 - eternal moment*
Reni: Seems like you’re finally ready to put an end to things and face me.
Yukio: Ah, yes, well… is that okay?
Reni: Why don’t you just say what you want to say? I’ve already hit you with everything I had.
Yukio: Say what you want to say, huh… I don’t really have anything like that to say, but…
Reni: Liar. Hurry up already. Or are you planning on downing some whiskey right off the bat?
Yukio: Waah, okay, okay!
Yukio: …I think Zen-san was the one who figured it out. Actually, I was a little afraid, too.
Yukio: Afraid that you and I would have a fight like back then.
Yukio: Whenever we disagree in the practice room, I can’t help but feel like we’re back in the old days.
Yukio: If we continue on like this, our paths won’t be able to cross again. We’ll just drift apart again.
Yukio: Because I’m just not an actor like you say I am, Reni, no matter how hard I try.
Reni: …
Reni: You may not have changed, but I have. I am much more patient than I was back then. It’s not the same.
Yukio: I know that, but… that’s just how traumatic it was for me back then.
Yukio: I don’t want to mess up the start of the New Fleur Award. I want to make sure it’s a success.
Yukio: Even back then, I really, truly wanted to work with you at a theater company, Reni--.
Reni: I wanted that too.
Reni: …You’re overall too self-conscious. Do you really still think I want you on stage as an actor?
Reni: GOD-za has also grown. Don’t you think there are many actors better than you there?
Yukio: Haha, I see. I guess you’re right. Maybe I’ve been the one stuck in the past.
Reni: …Well, I’ve long since given up on being an actor, but one thing I’d like to do came to me today.
Yukio: ?
Reni: You’ve been telling me this ever since back then, to the point where I’ve grown sick of hearing it…
Reni: Do you remember the phrase, “I want to make each actor bloom in their ‘own’ way”?
Yukio: I do.
Reni: I’ve only recently begun to understand that as I’ve become a director and started creating plays with younger actors.
Yukio: Really!? That’s quite the change… I feel like I’m getting left behind. I’m the only one who hasn’t grown up, huh?
Reni: That’s why I want to have a thorough discussion about Okita Souji for this performance. We only have a few days left to finish things.
Reni: Tell me what you’re looking for-- tell me what you’re looking for in Reni Kamikizaka’s Okita Souji, tell me how you’re going to make him bloom.
Reni: Of course, I get a say in things too.
Yukio: So this is going to turn into a fight, after all, huh?
Reni: Wouldn’t that call for whiskey, then? It’s not a fight. It’s just a discussion.
Yukio: Right.

Staff: The equipment check went okay.
Syu: We’re ready to go over here too.
Hiro: It’s about time.
Zen: It ain’t every day that you get to have an opening day at a theater with no audience.
Yuzo: Well, there is one person.
Izumi: …
Yukio: Sorry, my daughter is the only one who gets special treatment…
Yuzo: You’ve caused a lot of trouble. She deserves a front-row seat for your comeback.
Yukio: I’m going to go talk to her.
*Footsteps*
Kasumi: Well then, before the show begins, how about we get a few words from the chairperson!?
Hiro: What is this? An interview?
Syu: …During our one-on-one drinking session, Yukio told me the reason why I got the lead role this time.
Syu: He said he’s relieved that I’m the one who hasn’t changed the most since back then.
Zen: Huh.
Kasumi: So am I just old now…!?
Yuzo: Nah, we’re all old now.
Hiro: Yuzu will never change, so we don’t have to worry about him.
Yuzo: Somehow that doesn’t feel like a compliment.
Syu: Well, that’s why we can understand what Yukio wants and what he fears for this performance.
Syu: I’m sure that deep down, he wants something that will never change.
Syu: An impossible fantasy, an ideal, a dream of eternity that we old people can’t believe in… Yukio wants that, but he can’t say it.
Kasumi: Now that you mention it, Yukio-san doesn’t use words like ‘forever’ or ‘everlasting’ very often…
Syu: I think he can’t wish it away because of his separation from Reiji.
Zen: He always thought the troupe members would leave eventually.
Hiro: I mean, the first generation MANKAI Company did turn out to be exactly what Yukio thought it’d be.
Syu: We grew old in the exact same way. Maybe it’s because the future is shorter now than it was back then that we can see what’s ahead now.
Hiro: …Let’s reassure, Yukio.
Kasumi: …Yeah.
Yuzo: Let’s show him somethin’ he won’t be able to believe.
Syu: Let’s let him be the one to say it.
Zen: Yeah, he’s the one who started it.
Staff: …Five minutes until showtime!
Syu: …We’re the flowers he made bloom.
Syu: That’s why “only on blooming days, the blossom scatter”.

S02E24 - re:kasumi (season finale)
"And you." Katsuki turns to him, seething. "Deku, shut your fucking trap."
"Kacchan—" He reaches for him, but Katsuki roughly brushes him off.
Watching all this go down, Kasumi lets out a loud gasp, scandalized. "You and Midoriya-san—?! Oh my god. Did he dump you, Daddy?!"
kasumi is so fucking smart but also coming to the slightly wrong conclusion bc she inherit her EQ from both her parents. in her defense, she did realized they have a romantic history together just uh not 'oh hes my longlost dad' way bc thats too absurd.
and that's a wrapped for s2!!!! this season was mostly backstories. we get to see izuku at his lowest point and why he did what he did, which you can agree or disagree with while also exploring kasumi's motivations to see katsuki get marry; it's always about katsuki's happiness.
see you in s3!!! for more kasum's crazy antics ;P.
