C.C.
<Yeah, yeah.>

Sorry I'm late!

...

SFX
<sparkle, sparkle>

C.C.
What, did you do something different with your hair, Kallen?

KALLEN
I did!
I was watching this TV show that broke down how to do it, and I just had to try it myself!

SHIRLEY
Ooh, was this yesterday?

NINA
"Wanna Level Up as a Woman!", right?

MILLY
That's the one for sure!
I watched it too!

RIVALZ

GIRLS
<The next episode's gonna be on Friday at 9!>

C.C.
("Wanna"... what...?)

C.C.
(We'll be studying during that time slot...
Guess I'll record it.)

LELOUCH
Hmm?
Well, that suits you!

KALLEN
Oh—

KALLEN
Thanks!
Now I'm kinda embarrassed...

SHIRLEY
(?!)

SHIRLEY
(Come to think of it... what kind of hairstyle does Lulu like?)

SHIRLEY
(Hmmmmm...¹)

MILLY
What're you up to in here?¹

SHIRLEY
Oh, Prez—
Well, um... I was thinking of changing it up a little, like Kallen—

SHIRLEY
...did, maybe...

MILLY
<sparkle, sparkle>

MILLY
Oh, really...
Well, don't hog all the fun to yourself!

MILLY
How's this?

LELOUCH
It suits you.

KALLEN
And this?

LELOUCH
Yeah, it suits you!

SHIRLEY
How about me?

LELOUCH
...It suits you.

MILLY
And this? Isn't it cute?

LELOUCH
It suits he—
<clench>

LELOUCH
—eeeeEY.
Knock it off!
If you've got so much time on your hands, how about actually doing some work around here?!

C.C.
...

C.C
Hmm...

NUNNALLY
Brother!

NUNNALLY
Do you like it?
Miss Sayako did it for me...

LELOUCH
Certainly!
You look marvelous.
It really suits you, Nunnally!

C.C.
...

SFX
<stare>

NUNNALLY
Yes, that's right!
It was on the TV!

NUNNALLY
<Miss Sayoko learned how from a show called "Wanna Level Up As a Girl!">

LELOUCH
<I see.
I have to hand it to any show that could make you even cuter, Nunnally.>

C.C.

The Following Day...

STUDENTS
<whisper, whisper>

SHIRLEY
Oh, C.C., good morn—
...ing...

RIVALZ
<Yo!>

KALLEN
Figures you'd be able to pull that off.³

NINA
I think you look cute.

RIVALZ
Man, ponytails're really something, huh?

LELOUCH
C.C.? What happened to your hair...?

C.C.
...That's the first thing you say?
No wonder you're still a virgin.
Do you really not have any idea how to talk to a lady?

LELOUCH
<pause...>

LELOUCH
It really suits you.
...I think.

C.C.
Heh.

C.C.
Honestly...
It's like pulling teeth with you.

^{3 Kallen's invoking YDK/やれば出来る子 here. Contextually, she's more or less saying that C.C. would look good with any hairstyle she cared to try.↩}
