"Crushing someone's face in when I only intended to knock out teeth would be counterproductive." Besides, sometimes Kaneda is interesting... like the time the guy challenged him to a race. In laundry carts, with brooms to propel them forward. It was weird, but kind of fun, he supposes.

But right now, he's got history homework, so a lot of what Duo says only gets a shrug in return. Except for that last part. That makes him stop writing and lift his head to look at Duo in mild confusion. "Do I look like a doormat to you?"

Answer very carefully, boy.
