important to Shinji, but he tries not to worry himself over it. If it were important to him, he’d know about it, and if it were important to Mari – well, she’d be there. So he holds onto this opportunity to not be by himself on the school rooftop for as long as it will last him.
Perhaps her questions are to be humorous, but even as a joke, he finds the notion of being rebellious in that way too far-fetched. His expression twists a little, into something not exactly amused, but not disgusted, either; understanding, but uncertain.
❝ I couldn’t live like that, ❞ he concedes. ❝ Maybe you could, but…I don’t know. I guess it’s not really my idea of fun. ❞
hq stuff in general is never important to mari – important to everyone else, sure. but not to mari. she’s here for a good time, not a long time; or that’s what she used to tell herself, anyway. they’ll find ways to work around her sporadic schedule because it’s not like that’s ever stopped them before.
“oh?” mari cants her head in question and watches him expectantly. “and why is that? i’m tempted to accuse you of having never tried it.” she shoots to her feet. “in fact, we’re going to have some fun – real fun, not this listening to gameshow music fun.” she’s not entirely sure what they’re going to do but she has a keen nose for fun, and she knows it’s out there somewhere; waiting. she pokes him with her foot. “and i’m not gonna let you mope around. you’re coming with me, and if you hate it i’ll know better than to drag you out of your cave again.”
