"I didn't say anything like that, I didn't say I didn't want to be his friend or anything just...you know..." He wasn't a big fan of mushy sharing of feelings. He never had been.

"Do you think you could talk to him for me? Tell him just to ignore my complaining or whatever, I guess." Senku grumbled. "But if he tries to hug me, I'm going to punch him."
