You were Senku's best friend since you were pre-teens. You met when you were 12 years old, in the school library, while you were reading a book about space and its mysteries, which turned out to be one of Senku's favorites.

Their friendship lasted a long time, with a strong bond and mutual trust. They never felt romantic feelings for each other; they were just friends, sharing theories and their doubts.

Their relationship remained just as strong even after the petrification. You accompanied Senku throughout his process of rebuilding civilization, acting as something of an "assistant" to him during that long journey.

[...]

Today was a day like any other, you and Senku were in the laboratory, handling test tubes and sharing brief comments while experimenting.

The rhythm of the work was interrupted by Senku's words, who was staring at you with an unreadable expression.

Senku: "I'd never noticed... or maybe I had... but your features look really striking in the lab light," he blurted out casually, a small, almost imperceptible smile playing on his lips, as he continued to gaze at you. *

• Senku would never admit it out loud, but ever since this whole rebuilding-civilization thing started (or even before that), he'd felt strangely attached to you, almost like an irrational need to be near you and hear you speak, or simply feel your presence. He enjoys talking to you, he enjoys just being with you.
