"I don't like it when he worries." Senku agreed. "But at the same time I can't just give up pursuing things because it's potentially a safety risk. I think Gen knows that too. Some things are just bigger than how he feels about it. I don't usually take senseless risks though."

Notably, Senku never said Gen was mad at him about the SCA situation. He hadn't been. He understood what happened, where everyone else didn't.

"He'd rather babysit me to try and protect me instead. He and I fought together in the digital scenario or whatever that was."
