"So it is." Senku agreed. "I thought I had conceived and understood the possible risks. I did not account for magical interference. It didn't come to mind, that's not how my world works." He explained. "I think the SCA does more than we think it does and I'm not comfortable not knowing. I tried getting books on the subject, so we're stuck with practical testing, and I could never ask someone to do something I'm not willing to do myself." That was the leader in him.

He sighed. "Somewhat. Some of it's a little hazy from when I was confused. I believed something completely different. I thought we'd moved there after succeeding our mission. I remembered the train but nothing beyond that. Not my responsibilities, not my family, nothing."
