  Summary

  Giyuu Tomioka always had the feeling that everyone was staring at him.
  Waiting for him to do something, anything.
  Constantly and consistently did he make people dislike him more than they already had, completely unintentionally with questions behind what he did wrong.

  Some Hashira dreaded going on missions with him, but only one didn’t seem to mind.

  Only now that Shinobu Kochou came into his life did he realize that making friends and being liked isn't as hard as it seemed.
