[substitutable]

I'd imagine. [He draws his knees up and holds them against his chest with his arm, glancing at Shinji.]

Do you miss it?

[imusntrunaway]

[His eyes are fixed on the sky, sorry.]

... even if I could go back, I don't think I would. [They gave him that chance once and he threw it away.] I don't belong there anymore.

[substitutable]

... I see.

But you at least have this, huh? That's nice.

[imusntrunaway]

Yeah. I wouldn't mind staying up here.

[substitutable]

Here, the moon?

... It's not bad, I guess. I can't say I like it though. Not being able to breathe -- it's just like the ocean. If you get throw out into it you might not survive.

[imusntrunaway]

That's true. But it's quiet in space.

[substitutable]

Mm.

I think anything above the earth is pretty quiet. There's a lot less, you know?

[imusntrunaway]

... I think I prefer these sorts of places best. I can't stand it when people are so loud.

[substitutable]

I thought you were that sort. It's kind of nice how the observatory quiets down at night, then.

I guess -- it's weird but I guess I'm getting used to the noise now.

[imusntrunaway]

You seem like the kind of person to enjoy company easier. [Shinji glances down at the map.] You made a lot of friends even after you dropped out.

[substitutable]

... Actually, I was a shut-in. Spent two years in my house and never stepping out.

I met Kido and the rest of them when I happened to go to the department store at the exact same time they did and we all had a run-in with some terrorists.

[imusntrunaway]

[What.]

You shut... yourself in? Terrorist attack? Um, wait, how did you get out--?!

[substitutable]

Closed curtains and horrible sleeping schedule and Internet addiction and everything. I'm not proud of it.

But uh, I think Momo, Kido, and Mary used their eyes for some things but I imported Ene into the computers that were being sold on the floor and had her hack in to the security system. I kind of fainted after that, but we managed to get out...

[imusntrunaway]

[??? That's. Not a very helpful explanation. But he can understand the fainting bit. Eyes? Powers, then? Ah, he should've known that Shintaro was the sort to hang out with those sorts of people.]

Your life's a lot more exciting than you made it sound.

[substitutable]

Not really.

Aah, but two years ago I guess I beat the second best zombie shooter player in the nation or whatever but she was really lame, and she-- [she...

Shintaro kind of pauses while he stares straight ahead. Then shakes his head.]

Well, it wasn't too bad. But I guess it's pretty "exciting" when I got dragged here the day after I met them.

[imusntrunaway]

[She...? Whatever Shintaro was about to say, it sounded like something happened between them.

... ah. It's not his business.]

In that case, you're just unlucky, then.

[substitutable]

Oh, don't I know. I'm unlucky as all hell. It's like I triggered all the bringers of bad luck.

[imusntrunaway]

I'm glad I'm not you.

[substitutable]

... Ow.
