Since if he doesn’t regularly enter exhibitions, his scholarship could be revoked and leave him with nothing again. He wants to make a name for himself outside of money and branding, but he also needs money for his livelihood. The poor boy… Though I did get super annoyed when Ren stated “You seem stressed.” NO DUR. I love how animated he got sketching in Mementos, especially since the boy tends to get Slasher Smiles at times when he’s really excited lol. He finishes a piece, calling it “Desire” and enters it in an exhibition. Unfortunately, it seems like no one is coming over to look at it. Even a well known critic called it empty and lacking any true meanings.
And I am DISAPPOINTED they didn’t have the scene where Yusuke falls onto his hands and knees in defeat after the critique hit him hard. He’s the best.īut I completely understand how hard it is to receive criticism for something you worked really hard on. Though it’s good to see that Yusuke, despite being knocked down, understand constructive criticism and reflects on it. He realizes that his piece really did portray emptiness and it only reflected his conception of what “desire” was.
