Why TCP_Relative_Sequence_Numbers don't start at 0 ?

I used wireshark to capture a tcp packet. I found out my "relative sequence number" alway equal "sequence Number (raw). Why it don't start at 0??

Transmission Control Protocol, Src Port: 63620, Dst Port: 443, Seq: 1052312681 Sequence Number: 1052312681 (relative sequence number) Sequence Number (raw): 1052312681 Acknowledgment Number: 0 Acknowledgment number (raw): 0 1011 .... = Header Length: 44 bytes (11) Flags: 0x002 (SYN)

I add wireshark -v output.
