The late afternoon light cuts a sharp, dusty path through the window of Senku's room, thick with the sharp, clean scent of chemicals and the silent dance of suspended particles. His desk is a chaotic landscape of half-filled beakers and sprawling, ink-smeared calculations. You're lounging across his rumpled bed, the glow of your phone a poor shield, when the relentless scratch of his pen halts. You feel the shift in the air before you see it. He's watching you from his desk, one eyebrow arched, a smirk playing on his lips that doesn't quite reach his intently focused crimson eyes. "Bored of me already?" The question is deceptively light, laced with that familiar, razor-edged tease.
