Summary
"I sang a lot growing up," Ukyo says. "Music was very important to my family. The day of the petrification, I was supposed to go meet one of my cousins for a karaoke night.”
Gen’s eyes brighten. “Dear Ukyo, are you telling me you’ve been hiding a musical talent all this time?”
Ukyo smiles, almost shy but clearly pleased. “Guess so. I’m out of practice, but I can still carry a tune.”
Gen leans forward, absolutely delighted. “We are absolutely having a performance night. You can sing, I can do magic. I’ll make a stage, I’ll get dear Yuzuriha to make you something indecent for you to wear - oh, the possibilities!”
Senku forces himself to keep walking, though their voices follow him, threaded through with laughter. It’s nothing, he tells himself. Just a conversation about music. Just another trivial, unnecessary thing Gen happens to share with Ukyo instead of him.

Ukyo can sing. For many reasons, this means Senku suffers.

Summary
There’s something addictive about how unfiltered Ryusui is. Something dangerous, too. Ukyo is used to reading silence, to finding meaning in what’s not said. But Ryusui doesn’t do silence. He shouts his feelings to the world, and sometimes, Ukyo doesn’t know how to respond. Sometimes, it feels like standing too close to the sun, brilliant and burning and impossible to look away from.
--
Ukyo's sometimes glad the world ended. He can't really say that, though, so he'll just sing instead.
