Tatsumi couldn't hope to emulate that with such committment, not when the only thing he wants is to be someone good enough for HiMERU to consider a friend. He isn't greedy enough to hope for anything more than that. And yet, for this role, he's supposed to be greedy. He's supposed to want HiMERU('s character) to only have eyes for him, and never leave him, even if he has to imprison them.
