I'm seeing this as a sort of cross between becoming blood brothers (oooh, alliteration) and old-style circumcision. In which case, the brothers would probably not be too comfortable with each other afterwards, and spend a lot of time staring at the ground scuffing their toes in the dirt and saying, "Look, nothing happened, alright? Lets just forget about it."

Which is sort of what suicide is like. Right?
