Chuckling at Tidus, Gen winked at him. "Oh, however could I forget all the bear? And it's been such a grizzly process dealing with it, too."
He hummed thoughtfully as Tidus and Roland explained. "We are incredibly used to making do with what we have, but, that isn't a feasible long-term goal, is it? We don't all have geniuses like Senku to rely on."
And, well. Roland did ask for honesty, didn't he? Gen's expression was unsurprised, rolling with everything he said, to intercut smoothy once he was finished.
"What Senku-chan means, obviously," Gen smiled charmingly at them, "is there is a huge opportunity for improvement here. This train has gathered the brightest and best from a variety of worlds, clearly, it must have. So all of this unorganized tangle of people - there's a lot of potential here, that's not being used."
"And of course we're built for survival, complacency, but going forward toward one goal - say, helping people decide whether they actually want to leave, or stay, and somehow finding a way for them to do that - that would unite us, wouldn't it?"
Gen grinned and gestured widely. "We need to play to people's strengths, because of all the potential here. Let people feel involved, and useful. When people feel needed and inspired - not just another cog in a machine - they're far more motivated to help each other."
"If we're all working together - if we all give each other a chance to use our real strengths - if we give backups to when terrible things happen, like people walking off like zombies from the train, or just getting kidnapped temporarily - we'll work a lot better as a whole. Decentralization will be key because it will, ironically, let us all feel better connected, like we each have a role toward working together."
He smiled. "I think that's what my dearest Senku had meant."
