Why is Chisato so distant? (2/3)

I didn't think I was going to do another one of these so soon, but I had a lot of thoughts in my head that I needed to get out!

Chisato, despite not understanding Aya's blind faith in the PP band story, is an extremely diligent worker herself. Chisato knows that luck and persistence has gotten her to her current position. Not because of her natural talent, but because she puts her own potential to its full extent. So, when being called "amazing" or "perfect", Chisato's hardly able to take the compliment because she knows she isn't a prodigy like Hina. Deep down inside, Chisato wants to be respected for her tenacity, and seen as a person separate from being an actress. She's just someone that puts her all into her art.

Every word of adulation only further builds the barrier of disassociation Chisato has with other people because they aren't able to understand she is the same as them. Even her own bandmates:

Although she has opened up significantly to them, they still don't seem to be able to separate Chisato from Chisato Shirasagi. And, to be frank, it's difficult for anyone to let others know their insecurities and weaknesses. Imagine having a reputation you're constantly forced to maintain, without being able to confide in anyone. Chisato doesn't let people in in fear they will be betrayed to find out that she's not the star child actress everyone sees her as.

And that is a heavy price she pays for her success.
