[Mayoi absolutely feels like he's being scolded. yikes. he writes several things, but deletes them, even debates answering at all. but he started this conversation, so it would be rude to run away right now. at the very least, he won't fight back... it's impossible to really tell what someone is thinking when it's just a text message]
as expected, this is definitely my fault. forgive me, HiMERU-san. i cant help to stick my nose in where it doesnt belong!
[he's the worst. it's a good thing this is just text because Mayoi can't show that he's stuttering and quivering, and he can think about what to say before just blurting it out as usual. however, the next part of his text hints at his true nature]
what i was thinking definitely wasnt befitting of a top idol like yourself. theres no way you would be like that.
[...oh. he can't erase it because he sent it already. time to burn his phone and hide in the ceiling]
[For all his mild-mannered demeanor — 'yes senpai' this, 'no senpai' that — behind all his flattering words lies someone undeterred by rank or age or propriety in address. He's called out his elders before and he'll do it again, with just enough measured politeness to not be written off as someone too cheeky and speaking out of turn. It just helps that Mayoi acts nothing like a senior to him, and has the kind of backbone (or lack thereof) that invites poor treatment.
This man would've been crushed at Reimei. His Reimei. Not the one Kazehaya Tatsumi still squanders his days in, but the one HiMERU rose above and left behind.]
What were you thinking, then? HiMERU is very curious now.
[It's fortunate for both of them that this is just over text. Otherwise HiMERU would need to be training his expression here, so as to not show the kinds of glares he's gotten used to tossing around Amagi and Shiina, when they both know too much yet act like idiots, pretending to have nothing in those heads and making everything difficult for him.]
