Shido stands at a mirror twisting his face into ridiculous shapes and collapses to the floor howling with laughter. When Aiku asks what on earth he is doing, Shido explains he is rehearsing his maximum attack faces.

Aiku gives it a try and is startled to learn that this is genuinely what he looks like, then goads Sendo into joining. Sendo dismisses it as idiotic, so Shido dares him and taunts him as a prissy prude who could never manage it. Aiku piles on encouragement, reframing the exercise as something actors do and good preparation for interviews. Picturing girls falling for him and a rise to celebrity, Sendo finally warps his face at the mirror and laughs at his own reflection. Shido flips through the photos he quietly snapped, and Aiku muses about peddling them to a tabloid.
