Oh boy.

Whatever answer he was expecting, it certainly wasn't any of this. And the worst part is that Inigo can tell that Senku is trying. Even though he can feel his anxiety growing and growing, he can still tell reality apart from his own worries enough to know Senku doesn't mean it badly.

But that way of wording things.. Sweet Naga. Yes, yes, Inigo has noticed, thanks...

"I mean, I'm.. not sure you should tell people they're not the worst.."

Because it still means they're bad. Which is something Inigo's insecurity and worry right now really can't take. He can already feel the familiar sting in his eyes, the warning that tears are approaching. And he can't be here while he cries. He just can't.

"Look, I'll-- I will discuss this with you. Some other time. I really have to go right now."

Or he'll look like a crying mess in front of someone who has absolutely zero idea how to handle that.
