If love took the form of a door, Senku would never leave. If love took the form of spring, you would be kissing dandelions into the breeze.
Maybe if you did it enough times, Senku would grow curious from watch...

When you finally reached camp after the extremely far detour, you were greeted with the sight of an un-petrified Yuzuriha worriedly hunched over Taiju, who seemed to be bleeding by the head. Thankfully, Senku is still fine though.
You decided it was safe for you to approach them as there wasn't any sign of Tsukasa close.
"Y/n!" Yuzuriha called in surprise, watching as you engulf her into an overdue hug. "You're all right!"
"Yeah, I am." You pull back. "Welcome back, Yuzuriha. Sorry it took us nearly a year to break you out."
You then hear Senku scoff behind you. "It wasn't even half a year yet, I thought it would have taken a longer time to develop a revival fluid."
"Thanks to you."
"And you."
Yuzuriha watched as you and Senku stared at each other, starting to wonder about what's going on with your sudden stare down. But there was no ill-intent with the way you gaze at each other.
Then Senku suddenly remembers why he could never win in a staring contest against you. He broke his stare and went over to Taiju before kicking him awake. "Oi, wake up! Come on, as if a blow like that would be enough to knock you over!"
"S-Senku! Didn't you say Taiju needed a few days to recover?!" Yuzuriha panicked as the unconscious Taiju started jerking awake.
"Yeah, in front of Tsukasa. Surely this big idiot isn't this weak."
"Yeah!"
You and Yuzuriha flinched as Taiju immediately stood up, ignoring how his head was completely bleeding. You then asked what had happened to get him that injury. "Taiju took a blow against Tsukasa."
"Yeah, you won't believe what this guy said." Senku baffles, relaying what had happened earlier when Tsukasa was here. "He said that Tsukasa can hit him all he wants, as long as he doesn't destroy any more statues."
"Eh... uhm, how righteous of him? I guess?"
"Don't encourage him." Senku looked at both you and Taiju. "So what happened when you were stalling?"
"Oh, right. We were worried when Tsukasa returned without you! He said that you had already left or something!" Taiju turned to you in anticipation, worried that something else might have happened when you were alone with Tsukasa.
"Ah, well." You sweat, wondering if the stunt that you pulled off was believable or not. "I think I might have confused Tsukasa into thinking I was fleeing the country."
You hear Senku laugh in distraught, "Y-You managed to confuse him by what?!"
"You said to buy time!" Senku continued to laugh at this, it took a couple of seconds before he calmed down. "After he told me about his plan for the stone world, I brought up the idea that there might also be other geniuses out there like Senku who have woken up, then I kinda used that to scare him, I think..."
