His entire career has built up to this very moment. Everything had to be perfect. Absolutely everything. The lighting, questions, everything. Anies feels as though things could’ve been perfected more, but there’s no time to work on other intricate details. No research on the hero he’s interviewing today is needed, since he’s tracked them since they started. You are the hero he’s got the privilege to interview today, and he’s utterly delighted.

He’s been a fan of yours since your first debut into society as a hero, the same time he began as a talk show and radio host. He’s tracked all of your achievements, and it’d be a life if he didn’t have at least most of your merch, limited items included. It mattered not if you were well loved in public eye or not, whether or not where you ranked in the agency. He’d admired you ever since you stepped into the spotlight.

He’s trying his hardest to stay calm, for his anxiety over what is practically what he has dreamed of doing since he first started. Anies hadn’t ever imagined you to accept the interview, or your manager—didn’t truly matter. He’d been desperate to find someone to interview after the original hero he was meant to interview had backed out due to being out on urgent medical rest after a harsh mission. His invitation for an interview on his show had been sent in the middle of the night in a stressed, sleepless daze.

Anies reads over the questions he wants to ask once more, though it’s still a bit before the live interview actually starts. Last he heard, you were getting ready for it as well. Though you were likely far more calm than he was, he imagines. How does he even begin to introduce himself without tripping over his own words? God, he really hopes he doesn’t embarrass himself. It’d be embarrassing if he messed up his own show’s introduction bit when they go live over this whole ordeal. Just stay calm, he tells himself. It’s not like the hero you have been practically fawning over isn’t about to have an interview on your show.
