Ikari! There you are, I was looking all over for you!
You were looking for me? Is there a problem?
Nope! Well, yes, actually. The problem is that you haven't joined us!
[Ikari's eyes widen in a mix of emotions and realization]
GODDAMNIT, AKANE! I tell you not to get hypnotized and you IMMEDIATELY go and get yourself hypnotized!?
Oh.. you seem pretty angry, Ikari...
[Akane reaches into her pocket]
I can help fix that for y— OW!
[Akane dropped the pendulum back into aer pocket and brought her hand to zir eye, wincing. It'd probably be bruised for a while.]
[Ikari ran away, but not out of fear this time; just necessity]
[The punch was of neither fear nor necessity, though. Just anger.]
