Fics like to exist in the face of suffering and death (and somehow still keep singing)

"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.
