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
