[At that, Faize actually pulls back. He keeps his hands on Hinata's shoulders, but sorry, man, you can't keep hiding your face like this. If Hinata actually looks up, he'll see that the smile that was audible mere moments ago has been replaced with a stern frown. And when he speaks, there's a slightly icy edge to his words. Not as strong as it was when he told off Inaba last week, but enough to make it clear that he's at least a little offended.]

I want you to look me in the eyes and tell me that you truly believe that people like Poland and Lithuania... like Clover, Alisha, Urashima...that people like Roxy can only see worth in you if you have some spectacular talent. I understand that this is upsetting for you, I understand wanting to be somebody. To be a useful part of something greater than yourself. You have every right to be upset right now, but don't you dare insult us by saying that I do not know that much for a fact.
