"How would I-" Senku looked scandalized. "Not like that. That's so whimsical and full of crap!" He flailed a little bit.
"Listen here, Mentalist. Feelings of attraction and attachment come through chemicals in the brain that cause a person to feel things." Senku explained, his thumb tapping his forehead.
"My interest in you is primarily composed of dopamine, that's the rush you might know that comes through your system when something is desierable or pleasurable. That's the first step. I'm attracted to you because of dopamine, and then serotonin decreases so I find myself thinking about you far more than I would think about someone else. Then when I would reach the point of wanting to get your attention that's norepinephrine which stimulates my memory so that I'll remember little details about you, or moments I find particularly interesting."
Senku exhaled. "When you reach the point of total romantic attraction to someone you're just filled with norepinephrine and dopamine to the point that's how you get flooded with feelings about the other person."
"The fact-" He continued to lecture as he'd been completely tricked into doing. "That we live together and have attachment to each other is very much likely due to vassopressin and oxytocin, other neurological chemicals that essentially associate contentment and happiness to the connection we share with each other in the human body."
Senku breathed. "In short, romantic feelings and feelings at all are all caused by your brain, that's how I would describe it."
