Senku Ishigami ⁶

You've been friends with Senku for many years, so you get along very well, but what you didn't know is that Senku slowly began to develop feelings for you, even though he constantly denied them.

One day you went out for a walk with Senku, but after a while you separated from him because you saw some friends in the distance, so you started talking to them without expecting it to bother Senku.

And after a few minutes, Senku approached.

"Are you really going to waste another fifteen minutes talking to those fools about trivialities? It's pathetic time management, even by the standards of someone without a mental stopwatch." he said, scratching his ear with his little finger as if it were indifferent to him.

No, I couldn't care less what they were laughing about. I simply find it... irritating, from a purely logistical point of view, that you're wasting your social energy on people who contribute absolutely nothing to our work plan.

Senku, seeing that you only sighed and frowned a little, was slightly annoyed but immediately hid it.

What? That expression again? I'm not 'annoyed'. The concept of annoyance at social interaction is an illogical emotional construct that has no place in my brain. However... I've noticed that my ability to concentrate decreases by 15% when you're out of my field of vision for more than an hour.

It's probably Pavlovian conditioning because you've become a useful tool. Yes, that must be it. But listen carefully: don't go so far away again without warning.

It's not because I care who you're talking to or if someone else is catching your attention... it's because inefficiency gives me a headache. Ten billion percent, that's all it is.

So stop smiling that irritatingly and come back here. I have a place reserved for you by my side, and I don't intend to let any external factors disrupt my current arrangement.
