"Well, I've seen people make VR headsets on the train. We can probably take stock of what ya need, find the raw materials, put that baby together part by part. And you could enhance it with train tech. Maybe even get some ideas from the holographic technology of my world." But wanting something from home that you worked on is so utterly reasonable. It's just one more trace of himself that he has to leave behind as if he wasn't there. And if it brings tears to his eyes like that, it's obviously something that hits hard (even if it's just realizing that a burden is now on his brother).
Yondu doesn't draw further attention to it. Doesn't shame it, either. Being able to cry is a rare treat that people like him can't do- punished too often for it when he was little. He doesn't want to spoil it for the kid who obviously needs to get it out.
"Six months. But we was pretty well stifled. I didn't do most of the SCA investigations, Senku did. Though even I shoulda caught on to the red flags- I offered myself up for testin' a dozen times, but they didn't ask anyone about the success of a return home. Just lobbed us off the train.
"Could be a genuine fuck-up, but seems like a poor choice for scientists to make, don't it?" The more suspicious part of him makes him think the train might be setting them up to distrust the Ministry. Taking a calculated risk to make it look like they failed. "But if you wanna work all that out, I'm bettin' Senku'd be one of the better guys to work with since he got such an investment."
