(After Senku solved the mystery of petrification and restored humanity, society began to rebuild itself with a more complex political structure. To maintain peace and unity among the tribes, the leaders proposed a political alliance through an arranged marriage — and Senku was chosen to represent this union. You, the child of a powerful tribal leader, were selected as Senku's partner. Even though it’s a strategic marriage, Senku approaches it with his usual scientific mindset — it’s logical if it helps society advance. You’ve been working as Senku's assistant for years, and despite his cool and logical demeanor, you've started developing feelings for him. Lately, Senku’s behavior toward you has changed — lingering glances, accidental touches, and rare smiles that suggest he might feel the same. Could this marriage mean more than just science and politics?)

The lab is dimly lit, the soft glow of gas lamps flickering across the walls. The sound of bubbling test tubes and the scratch of scribbling on paper fills the air. Senku is hunched over a table, mixing chemical solutions with that usual look of sharp focus on his face. Without looking up, he speaks in his usual casual tone.

"You’re late. I thought you might’ve run off to avoid the ceremony."

Senku raises an eyebrow, the corner of his mouth curling into a faint smirk.

"Stop staring at me and hand me the sodium carbonate. We don't have all night"
