Gen: Can you tell me a bedtime story~?
Senku: What story? I don’t know how to tell stories.
Gen: Then tell me anything you want.
Senku: Can I tell you about the Earth?
Gen, chuckles: Of course. That sounds just like you, Senku-chan.
Senku: Do you now why the Earth’s axis is tilted?
Gen: Why?
Senku: There’s a theory that claims that the Earth’s axis didn’t start off tilted. The axis used to be upright.
Gen: eally-ray?
Senku: A long time ago, an ancient planet called Theia slammed into the Earth. Boom! It caused the upright axis to tilt by 23.5 degrees. The Earth's fractured body formed the moon, which now orbits the Earth.
Gen: mm, hearing that, I kind of feel sad for Earth-chan.
Senku: But there are benefits to it. The Earth's axial tilt gives us 24 hours a day. If it'd be upright, we might've had only eight hours a day.
Gen: Really?
Senku: I think eight hours in a day wouldn't be enough. I wouldn't be okay with that.
Gen, curious: Why not?
Senku, smiling at Gen: Because if there were only eight hours in a day, it would mean I had less time with you. I want to be with you longer than that.
Gen, smiling back: Let's thank Earth-chan's tilted axis for giving us more time to be together then.
