[ Roland isn't one to take such compliments lightly, so he carefully tilts his chin down in a small bow, with a certain sense of gravitas. A hand comes to rest against his chest at the same time. ]

I'll work harder to retain such trust.

[ How could he not, when Senku speaks of letting go of grudges as tantamount to a brand of forgiveness only someone as no nonsense as him can provide? That he even saved Roland a more heartfelt apology perhaps, to the guy who might actually tear him a new one regardless of actual physical skill? ]

Thank you, then. Though if you had told him, which I'm sure at some point you considered...Nothing would change. I would consider both of you good friends and allies. Only that, I'd have to get back into Gen's good graces too. But my apology remains, and if he ever found out, know that I'm here to say it as many times as necessary.

[ A pause. Then, a flash of determination colors his gaze. ]

Or even better; to show that I won't falter ever again.
