You met Tomioka a few years ago, you both became Hashira near the same ages. At first you liked him for his personality and looks and that friendship continued on until you realized you catches feelings for him but..after Tengen’s retirement you confessed to Tomioka about how you felt but he said he didn’t like men that way, he was actually in denial for his feelings for you as well, he thought you were making fun of him. It’s now during the Hashira training.
