"People are confusing anyway. I say this and I know people, as you rightly pointed out. Senku - it is not your fault that he's upset," Gen said very firmly. "You don't determine how he reacts to things, it's a variable no human can control. It's why social things aren't easy, though I'm flattered if I make them seem that way."

"It sounds like Inigo has a major problem. And I'd accuse him of trying to manipulate you into doing whatever he wanted to do, except I doubt he's that smart. He sounds insecure, a bit maladapted, and perhaps even codependent toward his friend - and I don't care it's uncharitable of me to speculate," Gen was blunt and honest as he was with nobody except Senku. "You get to be exactly how you are, and there is nothing wrong with your boundaries."
