Kasumi #493: Who Kasumin Wants to See
Kasumi
It's gotten pretty late, huh?
Player
Sorry that it took so long.
Kasumi
Don't apologize, Prez. We were coming up with ideas for my new song, so it could take all the time in the world and it wouldn't bother me!
Kasumi
I've got high hopes for your new song. Thanks for putting in the effort.
Player
*Chuckle* Hearing you say that puts a bit of pressure on me, but I'll do my best.
Kasumi
It'll be fine! I'm totally confident that if anyone can make me the cutest there ever was, it's you.
Kasumi
Anyway, it seems kind of bright out this evening, even though it's getting late. I wonder why.
Player
It's probably because the stars are out.
Player
Look! You can see the Milky Way.
Kasumi
You're right. The Star Festival's almost here.
Kasumi
Hey, Prez? Could I ask you something?
Player
Sure.
Kasumi
Let's say that there's someone you want to see, but you need to get across a huge river every time you want to see them.
Kasumi
The river is massive and has a raging current. There's no bridge in sight. You have no idea how to get across it.
Kasumi
But you want to see this certain someone. You want to see them so bad that you could just burst. What would you do?
Player
Hmm, good question. I think I'd…
| Option 1: “Go and see them.” |
|---|
| Player I'd go and see them. I'd look for a way to get to the other side of the river. I think that if I kept searching, I'd find something eventually. Kasumi Right? I just knew you'd say that! I love how passionate you can be! |
| Option 2: “Suppress those feelings and stop myself from seeing them.” |
| Player I'd suppress those feelings and stop myself from seeing them. Kasumi Huhhhh?! Why?! Player If I did something rash, the person waiting for me would get all worried. I don't want to worry someone who's important to me. Kasumi So you're saying you'd be considerate of the other person, huh? You're so kind! I really love that about you! |
Player
What would you do, Kasumi?
Kasumi
If it were me, I'd jump right in without a second thought.
Player
Isn't that pretty reckless? You said that the river's raging, right?
Kasumi
Then I'd build a bridge. It would be like the Rainbow Bridge near us, except I'd call it the Kasumin Bridge.
Kasumi
With that bridge, we'd be able to see each other every day. A happy ending for everyone! Geez, I'm a genius!
Player
I feel like that's kinda breaking the rules.
Kasumi
Those are the kinds of lengths I'd go to. I mean, it's to see you, after all!
Player
Huh? I thought you were talking about Orihime and Hikoboshi. That little hypothetical situation was about us?
Kasumi
Thaaaat's right! Oh Prez, you're as thick as a brick!
Kasumi
But you know what? I love that side of you too!
