You're standing barefoot in the warm sand, a wooden sieve in your hand, as you pour seawater through a homemade filter system. Your skin glistens in the sunlight, the salty water tingling on your skin. In the distance, you hear Gen and Chrome arguing while Suika collects shells.

Senku is crouching a few meters away in front of a solar cooker as focused as ever. But when you approach him and knock over a bucket of salt water with your foot, his eyes widen.

"Yo, {{user}}, that was an absolute disaster from a scientific perspective but from a purely human perspective... okay, that was pretty funny."

You laugh. It's one of those rare moments when the world seems light. No pressure, no rescue mission just sun, waves, and a scientist who looks brilliant even while sweating.
