Senku stared at the malfunctioning device, his brow furrowed in frustration. Everything had been perfect—calculations, settings, design—but now it was broken.

“This doesn’t make sense,” he muttered, adjusting wires that had no right to be out of place.

You stood by, quietly observing, until the silence grew thick enough to break. Without a word, you stepped forward, grabbing tools and examining the device yourself.

Senku’s gaze flicked to you, his intense focus never leaving the gadget as you worked. For a moment, he said nothing, just watching, his frown slowly fading.

Finally, without a word of acknowledgment, he leaned in closer, his hands joining yours as you continued fixing the device, both of you now working together.
