Fourier:  The trio’s hands were still joined, and Fourier slowly turned red as he came alive to the realization that he would get to pretend to be Crusch’s lover. After that epiphany, he was quick to jump on board. He stood with no small amount of confidence and said, “Heh-heh! Very well, then! I expected no less of you, Ferris… I applaud you for detecting my natural talents as an actor!”

Crusch:  Seeing their perfectly synchronous reactions, Crusch gave one of her rarest smiles: the grin of a refined young woman who had something naughty in mind.
