Gen didn't mind that Senku let go - it seemed like it's purpose, giving his dearest friend comfort and support during a difficult memory - had since passed anyway. He listened and thought, because really, Senku was uncovering the truth of what Roland would need to deal with. Not the actual attack itself.

"That's going to be your big problem, my friend - and opportunity," Gen told him. "Governments and infrastructure as you know it will probably be gone. But you'd still have people. Tons, and tons, of people."

"People who suddenly likely have ... no internet. No international travel. No international trade, or even in a place like the United States or China or Russia, no organized shipping within those massive countries any longer. Society as you knew it will fall apart, and ... that's what you'll need to help manage."

"People are going to panic. People are going to fight and accuse and act against their own best interests as they attempt to protect themselves, and that is your real problem," Gen told him. "If you're worried about survival, you'll need to worry about how to keep people feeling safe, and like things are under control, and that their favorite brand of soda won't be out of stock indefinitely."

"Your cities are going to be the worst hit, even if they're not targeted by nukes," Gen told him, "because without a country's infrastructure to keep them afloat - they'll quickly run out of what they need to keep themselves going. Tight quarters means there will be a lack of food, increased illnesses, greater unrest and riots."

"Radiation is the least of your problems."
