Gen died during the Stone War, or not long after. In a way that even if he was put in a freezer, the petrification couldn't fix things. So they had no choice but to accept that their mentalist was gone.
He was buried somewhere with a nice view of the ocean, with flowers all around.
Senku isn't taking it well. He tries to keep going, but his shoulders feel heavy and he keeps wanting to turn to Gen for support. He leans on his best friends, but just like he lost his father, Gen's absence hurts. His heart clearly isn't there as he works. Everything is automatic gestures and actions.
One day, he goes to bring flowers to Gen's grave when he sees a white fox with one black ear tip, black "socks" and a black tip of the tail.
It looks toward the ocean, calm, before turning to him.
Senku can only stare back, thinking how beautiful it is.
The fox leaves, scurrying back into the forest, and Senku approaches to put down the flowers and sit quietly for a while.
Once he has returned to the village, working silently on things with Chrome trying to get him to chat without success, they hear a commotion, people yelling in anger, running after something.
Before Senku can understand what's happening, a white fox appears and hide between his legs. Kohaku dashes to them, holding her knives, saying that this fox came barging through the village.
Senku feels protective of it and asked if it hurt anyone. No? Then leave it be. It's fine.
The fox stays by his side, making Senku feel a little better, a little less lonely despite being surrounded by people who love and care about him.
Only later does he discover that the fox is Gen who was reincarnated into a yokai, a kitsune. As Gen grows more powerful, he can shapeshift into a humanoid form, their old friend, with added fox ears and a tail.
But it's okay. His mentalist returned to him.
@putcreativenamehere @gogo2712 @reenacole @sofiadragon I kissed this brick lovingly before throwing it at all of you.
Because I want some sengen angst.....I had an idea
Right after the moon mission Gen confessed to Senku, who told him he didn't feel the same. Gen is heartbroken but doesn't let that stop him from doing his job as a diplomat.
However this means Gen is away a lot and no longer by Senku's side 24/7. Senku begins to miss the Mentalist's presence, and realizes that he did have feelings for Gen, he had them all along, it just took his absence to realize it.
By then though it's been a year and Senku finds out Gen has moved on and is now engaged.
In honor of Subnautica 2 early access release, Sengen Subnautica 1 AU.
Gen was either a passenger or part of the HR team.
Senku was an engineer working on board of the Aurora.
When the ship is shot down, Senku runs as fast as he can for the life pods, hoping he can find one. To his horror, all the bays look already empty, all pods gone, before he hears "Over here!!"
He looks up and sees Gen waving with insistence, poking out of the last life pod.
Running to it, he jumps in as Gen is buckling himself in. Both aware that Gen wasted precious seconds waiting to see if someone would come to share the last life pod and that's what just saved Senku's life.
The pod drops just before the ship explodes mid air, sending them barreling to the planet surface and knocking them out.
When they both come to, it's been hours and they both must survive together and unravel the mysteries of the ocean planet.
