Shinji turns away from Misato.Misato “Don't run away, not from your father… and above all,
not from yourself.”
HeWhoPostsStuff: Ah, the line that leads to one of NGE's most clichéd repetitious catchphrases.
Gundampilotspaz: Sounds like she is speaking from personal experience.
Incisivis: Misato's words to Shinji are the first of several sequences in which she gives him sensible advice, and yet there seems to be a feeling of distance, rather than teaching, between Misato and Shinji. Perhaps these talks are a veiled reference to the division between humans, since Misato's advice never seems to do any good.
