Unknowingly touch-starved Saiki who realizes that being touched feels kinda nice isn't completely terrible.
So he "subtly" seeks out human contact.
Kuboyasu: Why is Saiki holding your hand?
Kaidou: I don't know.
Kuboyasu: Why are you holding Kaidou's hand?
Saiki: To keep him from getting lost.
Kaidou: But we're inside our classroom.
Saiki: And you're not lost. The system works.
maybe a little late with the trend, but💜🩵

KILL MEEEEE
What kills me about Saiki knowing his friends would accept him if they knew about his powers is that... yes, he knows this. He believes in them enough at the point of the volcano that he knows they would care for him and want him around regardless.
But he says "I wouldn't want to put them in this position because it would be hard for them". His friends would be willing to get used to knowing their minds are being read 24/7 and they would be willing to know Saiki can manipulate their thoughts if he wants, and they would be willing to get used to all his little oddities because they love him.
But Saiki doesn't want them to have to. He wanted to be "normal" for them.
Nendo saying that protecting/being protected is what is means to be human and Saiki immediately saying that he's become someone who gets to be protected—he's become someone who gets to be human.
And then he thanks Nendo because for all his talk big talk, being allowed to just be human is something he's been denied by everyone who knows his secret, and it's a right he's always craved.
headcanon that saikis friends drag him into their tiktoks and act as if hes some major celebrity they managed to convince into being a part of their tiktok and he is just standing in the middle of the frame when whoever is doing their little dance. like the man emoji. 'i cannot believe i managed to run into him!! and he agreed to be a part of my tiktok what an honour!!! <33 this was such a wonderful opportunity to meet someone you idolize and to also get a photo with him is a core memory' and all comments are confused. 'whats his name???' 'gurl give me his tiktok' 'uh i dont think i recognise this celebrity'
