This is a mistake I made too when I was first starting out, but you're missing a lot of punctuation. We're translating Japanese, which doesn't really use periods or question marks all that much, but we're translating it into English, which does, and it's English's rules that we're governed by. Questions always get question marks, and normal sentences always get periods. (Ellipses are fine where applicable - Lord knows I overuse them...)

So, now that he knows her secret, will he stop calling her scary? Nah.
That pesky gaslighting sibling really mangled those ears. The piercings look kind of cute on that kemonomimi icon, though.

Did she just fall for him when he said he is clumsy too?

Sometimes it's appropriate to replace a Japanese ellipsis with an em dash, because they use them in situations that aren't quite right in English
