Pt. 3

After tapping on Akira's exclamation mark
Akira Re-potting a bonsai gives it fresh nutrients and helps it remain strong.
Akira It's as if when you live in a small, contained place, you need to change the old soil - kick up the environment - to keep yourself from wilting and dying.
Akira Could that somehow be a metaphor for life? Springfield equals "small place."
Akira The stagnant lack of diversity equals "old soil." And what would keep us from wilting and dying? Ah...
Akira No, Akira! Bonsai is your time to let go.
Akira Bury your ambitions way down inside where they can be forgotten and never disturb you again.
Akira So yeah... uh... cute tree description something something pot?

Pt. 4

After tapping on Akira's exclamation mark
Akira Ah ha! A perfect bonsai to plant. No one else in Springfield has these unique and mad skills.
Akira This is why we need to increase diversity. Think of all the useful and impressive stereotypes that can't be given expression.
Akira Who is to do manis and pedis? Who does math moderately better than others? Who dry cleans clothes using ancient secrets?
Akira By placing this tree into the ground, I let an idea take root. Expanding the representation of cultures adds value to all communities.
Akira Also, that I rock at bonsai.
Task: "Place Bonsai" (x3).
Homer - Sarcastic You know, your skill isn't that special. Any bozo like me can just buy your precious crooked shrub with donuts.
Akira But to be able to do without donuts what you need donuts to do, that is a special skill indeed.
Homer - Confused What are you trying to say, Yoda?
Akira Having me do it saves you donuts.
Homer - Surprised Donuts I can use on other things? Ah, you are wise! Can I call you sensei?
Akira Okay. But only if the term has nothing to do with my race, and only applies because of my incredible intelligence.
Homer Sure. Whatever works for you.
