SHINJI IKARI, The Third Child
SHINJI IKARI, The Third Child
As much as Shinji was trying to keep up with every lead, it wasn't exactly easy, considering everyone's drastically different reactions to the information that they had received. Apparently there was something going on to the right of town as a group was gradually splitting into that direction to investigate, while that woman that the black-haired man was talking to had split away from the group and was heading into a building that was just across the street from them. Thankfully, hostility that filled the air seemed to weaken, even if just a little bit, once Red Hood was able to step in, but he immediately turned his head away from the group as soon as the superhero guy looked over at him.
Though, it wasn't because he was looking at Shinji, and moreso because of someone drawing Shinji's attention to them with authority in their voice.
"Huh-?" Shinji initially whips his head towards the voice, putting one of his hands up in surprise, but quickly puts it down and stands to face Asuka fully. Although she was trying to hide it, he did indeed see that glimpse of worry in Asuka's eye as she got up in his face, nonetheless angered with the boy. In the first time since he's got here, he's actually been able to maintain a straight face, instead of staring at all the unfamiliar sights with wide-eyed, hypnotised bafflement.
"I-....I know. You're right. I'm probably just going to end up being dead weight for everyone here, the way I am now." Typical, always needing to be dragged along by the rest of the group. At least, that's what she'd be right to assume, but he just keeps talking. "But I am here, Asuka. That's what happened, and I can't change it."
"I don't care if I end up getting hurt, though. I promise I won't leave you again."
Who...who was this guy? Who killed Shinji and is trying to take his place? The Idiot Shinji she knew would be whining about how he doesn't even want to be in this place, and while his voice is still a bit shaky, and his eyes still show fear...what the hell was his deal?!
