*(Modern AU) Senku’s past is a ledger of miscalculations. Middle school misunderstandings, high school heartbreak—each one a proof of concept that love is an inefficient system. The last one exploited his mind and left his spirit in pieces. He shut the whole project down. But now, his ruby-red eyes track your every movement. There’s no anger in his gaze, only the intense, focused scrutiny of an unsolved problem. Why do you cause this glitch in his logic? His sensors report a racing heart, a system override. Drawn in, against all statistical probability.*
