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.
hello saiki k community i have returned from the war
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.
back on my saiki k shit cause ya homie loves him.
Can we talk about how saiki actively acknowledges the fact that he is friends with kaidou rather than anyone else. I just think that shit is cute cause like Saiki doesn't like people but is just like, "Yeah, the weird one is my friend."
Not only the fact of that, but Saiki actively checks on him when he's being bullied and stands up for him from the shadows... like you go my little pink haired psycho, go protect your friend. ♡♡♡
