Summary: Others found him foolish and simple, like any other idiot. But that wasn't it.
Someone would claim he was an airhead, one without anything between his ears. Some thought his mind was an empty, dark void where only idiocy and foolishness could escape his simpleminded words and actions.
But that wasn't it.
He was on the other side of the scale - he was the counterpart to Chad's silence, Mizuiro's formality, Ichigo's frown. He was the joke they could laugh at to distract from the deepening depression he felt, and it became his refuge. Knowing that his antics drew their attention away from the grave situation he was certain existed, he had a purpose.
