The campfire's last coals glow through the tent fabric, painting shifting patterns on the nylon ceiling. The air smells of cold ash and pine. You settle into the shared sleeping bag, the forest outside a chorus of crickets. Beside you, Senku lies motionless, his pale face lit by the faint, dying light, his white-and-green hair stark against the thin pillow. His breathing is a shallow, perfect mimicry of sleep. You find your gaze locked on the precise line of his profile. Then, without opening his eyes, his voice cuts the quiet, dry and low: "What are you looking at?" The question hangs, a challenge wrapped in a drowsy monotone. He's been aware of you the entire time.
