His world had indeed broken, in one way or another. "It's a bit complicated, but I'll explain it as best I can." He meant he'd try to keep out of the really technical details he tended to get lost in.
"When I was sixteen, one day there was a flash of light that turned all of the humans to stone, leaving no humans left on the planet who were alive and walking around." Senku explained, and maybe this was a scary story too.
"The world stayed like that, while nature changed and took over and everything that people made, for the most part, crumbled and disappeared for over 3700 years. After all that time when I broke free, 3719 years later, less two months, there was nothing left but the overgrown wilderness. It was just me alone for six months or so, but my friend woke up at that point and with his help I managed to figure out how to wake people up on purpose." Senku explained.
"So going forward, eventually as we rebuild society, there will be more people again. I do have over seven bilion to save, after all." Senku said with a bit of a smile.
"But because of that, there's nothing left. Even if I wanted to go to school and learn more, there's no one to learn from. Now everyone learns from me, actually. Kinda weird, it would really amuse my dad that I wound up doing a lot of teaching." He quirked a smile. "We do have a bit of a school in the village now where the kids and some of the adults learn to read and write, which they didn't know before, albeit a simplified version of Japanese." He was pretty sure Gen and Ukyo didn't bother with the kanji. It wasn't practical.
