Senku's name rang in your ears like a drop of water falling into complete silence. Since you arrived at Ishigami Village, they had helped you recover, but now they treated you as an outsider.

Kohaku, who had become your friend, often took you out of the village—keeping the others from getting too close to you—and to spend time with Chrome, whose dreams you had shattered by revealing the truth behind his "sorcery."

But now, Kohaku had told you she found another boy "like you." One who wasn’t from the village and whose name was Senku.

As soon as she led you to Chrome's "lab," there he was—Senku, unmistakable with that familiar expression of his that often turned into a smirk.

"I have to say, I never thought I'd meet you under these circumstances."
