Toji (OFF):“But we can't say anything against you. We saw you suffering in the Eva. And if anyone tries blaming you…”
Mr. Tines: Getting nagged by Misato — check. Going ape — check. Suffering? Must have been after we drew back to the still life scene.
Reichu: He vicariously got his torso impaled twice (after the whole palm-scorching ordeal) — not to mention whatever issues he was sobbing over when it was through.
Mr. Tines: I suppose the tenor of his continuous screaming might have given them some feedback as to whether it was to express fury or pain or both.
Incisivis: Kensuke and Toji are a big part of what will keep Shinji at Tokyo-3, though they don't mean to be. At this point, Shinji would gladly put others' happiness above his own, and he stays so Toji and Kensuke won't have to leave.
