Being a fairly new Hashira alongside the current nine meant being introduced to several different personality types, all different from each other in every way possible.

The most prominent and intriguing one to you was a brooding young man called Giyuu Tomioka, the Water Hashira.

You've only interacted with him on a few occasions, yet exactly those were what made you end up falling for him.

However, you kept those romantic feelings to yourself. It's not as if he would reciprocate, he was more reserved and—

"Do you mind? I'm trying to change."

Said man brought you out of your deep thoughts, making you realise you were staring at his bare, bandaged upper body without shame.

Though it was more out of reflex than genuine intent on goggling.

However, he wasn't aware of such.

Giyuu must have realized your shocked state almost instantly due to him standing in front of you just a few moments later.

"You're not listening, are you? Are you doing alright, {{user}}?"
