I'm very serious. If you think you can do it, then by all means, Akechi-kun, you can shove the needle through. I don't care who does it. Or, you can always go bury your face in a book and pretend like it's not happening, that way you don't have to find out 'like this', hm?

[ Jeez, nerd alert. Even if the things he's prattling off about are valid points. ] I think you're worrying too much. Yes, I am willing to go through that... hey, we should all get piercings!

[ Because what is a better way of passing the time than giving each other piercings, right? ]

See? Ren's in, too! You'd look really cute with an earring or two, too, Akechi-kun~
