Senku leaned back a bit and considered the question. They'd been apart a few months. They were apart here and there for various periods of time, but usually they could talk, if they needed to. He wasn't one for chatter, but he couldn't deny accepting the odd call from Taiju just so his friend could talk to him enthusiastically.

"It's not the longest we've been apart." Senku began softly. "But yeah, I guess. Yuzuriha too. Kohaku...all of them." He admitted. "There's a lot of people I miss, but it would be the same if I went back. I'd have a lot of people I'd miss from here."

Gen certainly seemed like his best friend these days, and in some ways he was, but it wasn't the same because their relationship was so much more than that.
