Girls admired her. Boys adored her. All tried to court her in gender-free romances. Her smooth skin appealed to boys and girls and those that had declared themselves as other or both. Her scent alluring, her smile disarming. One could sense a hidden masculine strength. She exuded energy, power, and control over all those that sought her attention. Those that won it were never heard from again.

The Boys Season 4 Episode 1
Season 4 of The Boys opens with Victoria Neuman taking the stage to thunderous cheers. Kimiko is a waitress there and is present during her big speech. The team crashes the party with The Boys.

Validation Is Not An Outside Thing
Hey Baby, Can we start by taking a second to celebrate the fact that you are here today? Yes! For some of us, it’s a small victory on life that we get to claim every time we wake up. You and I both know we haven’t always wanted to be here. Choosing to stay is a victory. So, congratulations but also thank you! If you are anything like me at your age, I know you are rolling your eyes, right now. But give me a second. It’s a little sappy—I’m aware—but I believe that at every point in life, we all have something to contribute. It doesn’t have to be huge. It can be a simple word to a person who needs to hear it at that very moment. So there you go.
