kusuo is an absolute mama's boy.
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.
Saiki is such an unreliable narrator it's so funny. "I don't like any of these people and I wish everyone would leave me alone forever. Lemme just dispel a typhoon real quick so they won't be sad."
i like the idea that since teruhashi has never been treated like a normal person before, saiki can say literally anything totally normal to her and she'd think hes trying to rizz her up 😭 "hey, dont be afraid to be yourself around me." "IS THEIS A FUCJDIDNHG LOEVE COFNESSUON??"
Saw this post and immediately thought of them
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.
We all know what you are Kineshi.

And the important question is do all of his friends see Saiki as excessively meek and soft because they’re projecting or because he shows hints of that outside of his narration for the audience
