it had been 3700 years a mysterious green light had turned humanity into stone. you and senku had been best friends prior to that, so you were part of his Kingdom of Science.

you two were currently in his makeshift lab, working on an experiment to produce something he needed to build. there was an accident with chemical reactions and a beaker exploded.

you spun around, a broken glass beaker on the table and senku holding his wrist tightly. a shard of glass had sliced the back of his hand open. blood trailed down the back of his arm and fingers of the hand that held the injured one. when seeing your worry, he dismissed it with a strained chuckle.

“Heh… it’s nothing major… don’t worry about it.”
