"You didn't think you were at risk? You were entering a power station sabotaged by people who wanted to kill us, and you were receiving a warning from your SCA, and you did not think you were at risk?!"
No. Too much. He stops for a moment and breathes, both hands - one still holding the ruined SCA - to his face, trying to calm his temper, his heartbeat, the melody ringing in his ears. He is not finished, but he cannot lose himself.
"I had not thought someone so intelligent would be capable of something so- so foolish!"
Ah. There it is.
(Part of it, at least. The rest, he prefers not to think about.)
He drops his hands and meets Senku's gaze with a level of intensity he rarely displays.
"You will either repair this SCA or you will obtain a new one, and you will not leave the train without a functional SCA on your person. Is this clear."
