If this was a sort of test that Senku was throwing his way, Roland's pretty sure he's got an answer for him. But he takes his time to reply, mulling over his thoughts and making sure he remembers all their interactions well. Senku wasn't exactly an easy person to read, a testament to the multilayered persona he seems to present even as he comes across as the genius boy with a penchant for mischief.

But that's exactly the spark Roland follows to find the smoke, the fire. He takes another long gulp of his drink before he wipes the corner of his mouth and smirks, answering without looking up at Senku.

"...I'm glad you chose to save everyone, then. That's a cause I can get behind any day." Roland quirks a knowing eyebrow before turning back to his drink, half-empty.
