The key was nitric acid. At some point statue me got washed into a cave full of guano. I know I said I have terrible luck, but getting washed into that cave was definitely a stroke of luck.
Heh, or maybe my bad luck is the reason it took 3700 years to get to that point.
But when I tried to revive someone else, I found it wasn't quite as simple as pouring nitric acid him to bring him back.
[He's an animated storyteller, pinching his nose closed and making a face when he mentions guano, mimicking pouring nitric acid on Taiju.]
That's when I realized. I kept myself conscious the whole time, counting the seconds. I burned so many calories thinking, it wore away the stone from the inside to keep my brain fueled. That gave the nitric acid a fighting chance to break through the rest.
[Now Senku finally takes a large drink from his cocktail. His mouth is getting dry from all that talking.
Fruity. Is the warmth sliding down his throat all alcohol or partly aphrodisiac? He's on alert now for any changes.]
