[That earns a polite chuckle from Ai. It's always reassuring to hear that his fans sincerely enjoy his work.]

Thank you. I'm glad to hear it. I'll work hard to impress you next time, too. [He can see that she might be embarrassed. Though embarrassment is a somewhat foreign concept to Ai, he does understand when fans get nervous. And he knows to treat them well. So his persona clicks on.

What he doesn't know is what he's supposed to do about this VIP access.]

I'm supposed to show you around, then? I'm not sure what parts of backstage interest you. [He's not about to waste both their time showing her things she doesn't care about. His aloof personality slips in as he speaks too bluntly:] I don't want to waste time.

[He could have added doesn't want to waste her time or doesn't want to bore her, but Ai is clumsy with his words. And has no tact.]
