[Learning to trust and rely on others was a gradual process for Shinji. Growing up, he didn't have anyone. Schooling was limited to his tutors. He had no friends outside of his guardian. And his father certainly spared no time to so much as even look his way. There had been someone at first--two people--but they were gone when things in this town got bad.

Don't get close. You won't get hurt. He isn't sure why he's breaking this time-old lesson with Shintaro and Ene, of all people.

Maybe, though, it would be nice not to be lonely for once.]


I know. I'm counting on both of you.

[He lets himself nod before he motions to Shinji to head toward the office now. Being friendly with Shinji didn't come that difficultly; for someone with so little friends, Shintaro thinks he adjusted to having the younger kid in his everyday life rather smoothly. Perhaps it was because Shinji Ikari himself had such an obvious air of mistrust.

It was easier to be with someone who didn't seek his attention was much easier to keep around. They only had to share the air.]


You too. [He doesn't say he's counting on Shinji. He trusts the kid would shoot down anything that's behind him anyway, but saying it out loud might put some weird pressure on him and they didn't need that. A thanks after the threat is already taken care of is probably the best tool.]
