The Fragile Science of Love

What begins as a simple expedition turns dangerous when you slip inside a crystal cavern, leaving Senku terrified as he rushes to save you. The injury isn't severe, but the scare shakes him deeply-revealing a fierce, vulnerable protectiveness he rarely shows. After carrying you home and tending to your wounds with relentless care, Senku refuses to leave your side, rattled by how narrowly he almost lost you. Even after you heal, the fear lingers in him. He throws himself into late-night work, trying to build a safer world faster, driven by the memory of your fall. When you find him exhausted and gently confront him, Senku finally breaks his silence, confessing how the incident lodged itself in his mind and fueled his need to protect you. Held close in the quiet glow of his lab, he lets himself be honest-about his fear, his devotion, and how deeply he cares for you. With your reassurance, he allows himself to rest, realizing that safety isn't only built from invention, but from holding on to the person he loves.
