Okay, so a few posts back I suggested that there could be a parallel between Oboro and Sensoji and the way they might have noticed Hizashi's loneliness. If you haven't read my other recent posts about the 3 baka, Hizashi alone, or Hizashi and Sensoji, those are recommended, but I'll try to sum up the important parts here.
Here's what you need to know:
the 3 Baka were inseparable, to the point that their classmates probably saw them as a single unit rather than 3 individuals.
With Shouta and Oboro having their internships together, they were able to grow together, inadvertently excluding Hizashi.
Hizashi was paired up with Sensoji, who seems comfortable diminishing and excluding him.
This all leads to a mock battle between the four of them, with Oboro and Shouta on one side and Hizashi and Sensoji on the other, with all three of them ignoring Hizashi, communicating that his presence was unnecessary and unwanted. Hizashi's probably incredibly lonely during this time. Sensoji doesn't care. Shouta's too caught up in his own head to notice. But Oboro does. Because the next thing we see is that Hizashi's been given his own pair of goggles, and Oboro is suggesting the three of them start their own agency.
It's not just Shouta's insecurities that prompt Oboro to suggest their agency. It's Hizashi's loneliness.
But then Oboro dies.
Oboro dies and Hizashi is spending more of his energy on protecting Shouta than processing his own grief and Shouta doesn't want to see how much he's hurting and his classmates don't know how to look past the front he's putting up and there's nobody left to realize he's alone again.
Except Sensoji's already seen Hizashi apart from Shouta and Oboro. He's probably the only person in the school who's seen any of the 3 Baka without the others. He knows how much Hizashi loved his friends. How much of his identity was in being their friend. And how that's all gone now. Sensoji's the only one with the proper perspective to see how alone Hizashi is now.
I think there could be an interesting parallel between Oboro being the first one to notice how lonely Hizashi must have been at Buster Union and Sensoji probably being the only one to realize how alone Hizashi really was after Oboro died

Hate to say it, but hoping for that’s maybe not your best bet? Focus maybe on making this easier for you in the long run, cause we’ve got no reason to think it’ll be anything less.
Well, you’ve got no reason *not* to think it’ll be different, do you?

well he came home, unconscious, but i woke him up for a second, tested out the enchantment with a ring to confirm shit, and now everything’s good to go. hinata enchanted his halo pen, since it’s an object he keeps on him at all times, is impossible to lose or break, and is directly connected to his soul. essentially this enchantment cannot be removed or lost, as the spell is on mads himself indirectly. halos are a hard concept to explain but i swear this will work.

One of the most memorable interactions was Saturday. Into our booth strolls a small family, tempted by free samples of freshly brewed tea. We chatter and give them the spiel, that the tea is character merch and we’re a cozy health-based app called Forage Friends.
The young girl zeroes in on our pride pins.
“They have my pin!” She says excitedly. “They have my flag!”
The dad blinks. He is surprised, but also calm and positive when he sees it’s the lesbian flag. “Oh. That’s… different from what you told me.”
“That was months ago, dad.” And she rolls her eyes. Definitely a teenager.
I turn to him and say, “Yeah, dad.” And we share a little laugh about it.
He says, “No, it’s great. That’s amazing, honey. It was just news to me.”
“Well, I guess I just decided to stop lying to myself. About liking guys. Like right now.”
A little lesbian just came out to her dad and he was super cool about it.
I’m standing there in my tie-dye mask and my cheery blue apron pouring tea and making small talk and I’m trying really hard not to cry or compare it to my experience, the fire & brimstone, the disgust, the conditional acceptance as long as I never bring it up.
So as this beautiful bonding is going on, the girl’s even younger brother turns his gaze around. He’s in a snorlax hoodie and bored and wants to go look at the swords across the hall. But on the other side of our booth….
“WHY DO PEOPLE DRAW THAT?” He asks loudly, and we all turn to our neighboring booth.
Our neighbors were extremely lovely people. Every time we had a break we would talk, and we became good friends over the weekend. They kept apologizing that their booth was next to ours and we kept repeating that it was totally fine. Their booth was great. I even bought their merchandise.
The thing that was so contentious, that they felt the need to apologize for, was that they were selling explicit titty hentai stickers of popular characters. They were censored with little yellow R18 labels but the content was very clear.
So back to the family: I freeze and immediately go somewhere else to let dad handle this question. With adult customers I’ve been loud and positive about our neighbors. (“Man, how has it been boothing next to them?” It’s been great! They bring a lot of foot traffic and they’re kind and wonderful professional neighbors. If anything it’s a fun juxtaposition. We believe in artistic freedom. I bought a sticker too!)
But this is a kid, it’s not my place to explain anything…. But I was extremely curious about what this chill dad would say.
“Well,” dad says with a long measured silence between each word. “Sometimes people are horny.”

What we need to do is convince all the disney adults in america that high speed rail would be a preferable way of getting to disneyworld compared to driving or flying. We could maybe harness their fondness for the monorail or something, but this is a group of people that has time, income, and passion that we could leverage. If we could direct 5% of the enthusiasm they have for limited edition popcorn buckets into calling their representatives and demanding high-speed interstate rail, we could get it by 2030
