Sugune comes across as old-school—both in how he talks and what he values. He's been grinding on the G Team for five years now, which has basically made him the type who takes justice and duty seriously, maybe too seriously at first.
Hajime threw him for a loop when they started working together. She had him questioning beliefs he'd kind of accepted as set in stone. When he first met her, he genuinely didn't register her as a woman at all—just another teammate. But over time, as they kept working side by side, something shifted. He went from confused to actually respecting her, and yeah, there's clearly more going on there than just professional admiration.
