[All right. This will be fine! They definitely overreacted! Or so Kadoc hopes. Mostly, he's worried about which of three things will happen: some awful kind of balloon pop, a slow release of air, or a lot more blood than he's expecting . . . he really, really hopes it's going to be the second one.
And it is. He makes the cut, with a small and neat slice rather than trying to stab it in or anything—it hurts enough to make him hiss out air through his teeth, but all told it's not that bad, mostly just really weird. It does feel like a combo of his skin and a balloon . . .
And, of course, it makes a super embarrassing noise, the same way any slow release of air like this does, and Kadoc groans and blushes and lets his head drop forward with a cringe. Dammit! It could have been so much worse, but that's still embarrassing and stupid!
As for the blood, of course there is some, but it's a pretty small amount. Very easy to control!]
cw for the stupidest self-harm ever
