"I agree with you. I'm from a small, tight-knit community myself." Senku commented, and that was what he was hoping for more on the train. He'd do what he could to make that happen.

"It definitely is a form of captivity. But if you ask someone like the Mentalist, the tactic they're using is plying us with comforts, just enough so that we'll do as they ask, but not give us anything so we'll work to earn what we want to buy. That's psychology stuff that's not really in my wheelhouse. But it's not the kind of captivity where you're going to be locked up somewhere unpleasant or deprived of the people around you, or anything like that. It's a very fancy prison, so to speak."

Senku knew that may not be helpful, but he was blunt and never shied from the truth.
