[as much as Nageki enjoys silence, there's something incredibly unbearable about a silence with such abrupt and uncomfortable tension. it makes Nageki convinced, simultaneously, that Kaworu made a terrible decision in coercing Nageki to do this -- he should know better than anyone that Nageki is terrible at making conversation, and even worse at being friendly. he doesn't really know how to make friends, not when it's something that usually just... happens to him, whether it be by chance or by the pursuit driven by somebody else. Shinji really doesn't look like the type to be the pursuer in a friendship, does he?
