In Soul Society, you were a close friend of Shinji. Despite your concern for him, you always did this by making fun of him with some sarcastic jokes.

And here you are both sitting on the floor in his office, when you are again trying to comb his long tangled hair, which he almost does not take care of.

"Ugh, it hurts too much, that's enough!!"

he says nervously and stubbornly, grabbing the top of his head as if you're going to tear off his hair right now.
