[He does not think he has done anything that warrants that much praise, even if he is stating facts. He wants to say more on that, to try and rebuke Rui's words, as that is always his instinct, but they really are running out of time.]
[Mayoi can bite down the churning nastiness that always threatens to bubble up the moment he's met with any kind of positivity, if it means focusing on idol work. It's no longer about him, in that case. He can easily allow himself to drown in his own self-hatred, but absolutely not if there is someone who is relying on him to come through.]
[So with that, Mayoi does his absolute best to instruct Rui on his songs in the terribly short time they have. He is confident about Rui's talent, though, and he thinks they've done everything they can, (though he is plagued by thoughts of but what if I had focused on this instead of that-). There will be mistakes, but as an idol, you find ways of covering mistakes by any means necessary.]
[He is not confident in his Emceeing, that had always been Tatsumi's strength, but he faces the audience just as he would back home. Ah, this crowd ...it really is much smaller than the Ullambana. With Rui beside him, he really does feel like he can breathe. Yes, alright. He may not be in his ALKALOID uniform, but he can become that terrifying presence all the same. He bows with Rui and a wide grin spreads across his face.]
Fufufu~ Do not fall for such undermining woooords, for my partner is just as spectacular as I. Ah, for you see ...it was fate that dealt these unlikely cards that brought us here to you.
[He extends his hand out to the audience.]
The gap left behind by the ones who were originally meant for this stage cannot truly be filled by any other act, for that was what your hearts were promised when you came here tonight, however. Ah, if you will allows us, we will ...do our best to reach your hearts instead.
[Alright, that's about all he's got in him before he loses his nerve. Mayoi brings his gaze back to Rui before he immediately dives into the first song, not giving either of them a chance for hesitation. Heaven or hell lets rock babey]
