[It takes great strength to stifle the smirk of mockery at Tatsumi's utterance, but HiMERU resists, settling for maintaining his serene smile, weaving his fingers together without missing a beat.]

Is that not the exact reason you were given such a role? You understand the concept of "gap," don't you? The fans— no, the world delights in seeing rare and different facets of us, truth or otherwise.

[The multi-layered irony of this does not escape him. Not only was their previous joint work's success largely attributed to that very "gap," but HiMERU so dearly loves to sacrifice as little of his dignified image as possible. It's without a doubt that Tatsumi's role poses the greater challenge than HiMERU's own, but he's not feeling especially merciful about it.]

There is no "if" you can muster such an image; you will, for the sake of those watching on the other side of the screen, and for the rest of us staff as well, always endeavoring to make dreams come true.

[If the pressure wasn't already on, it certainly must be now. He might as well get some enjoyment out of watching Tatsumi squirm and flounder, even briefly.]

Though if you truly find yourself unable to make any progress... perhaps you should just learn from HiMERU.
