Back at school, Toji upbraids Kensuke for not doing anything about it.
The next morning, several men in black from Nerv arrive and take Shinji into custody. Shinji camps out with Kensuke that night. Kensuke reveals that like Shinji, he has none. When Kensuke expresses a desire to be a pilot as well, Shinji admonishes him that his mother would be worried. Kensuke reveals that he is jealous, both because Shinji is living with a beautiful woman, and because he is an Eva pilot. He and Shinji discusses the recent events, with Kensuke explaining that Toji is sorry what he did, and that his sister even gave him an earful for beating up the hero who saved the city. Meanwhile, in a violation of the law of incredible coincidence, Shinji meets Kensuke, who is in the wilderness playing survivalist. Kensuke stares in disbelief as M.I.B.s come to collect Shinji. Back then Misato chewed him out for his attitude, but she since has realized in hindsight, that Shinji was just putting on a front, and was actually feeling scared and trapped. In the flashback, Shinji smiles and acts rebellious at her scolding, saying he won the battle regardless. Ritsuko asks how she have come to that conclusion, and Misato thinks Shinji because she upbraided him during the debriefing following the battle with Shamshel for disobeying her retreat order. Misato doesn't think Shinji wants to come back, and in her opinion it is probably better for him if he doesn't. Misato is there, and the two of them discuss Shinji as Ritsuko is working. īack at Nerv headquarters, Ritsuko is subjecting Rei to a medical exam. Thus he flees to the countryside, and walks around in the fields and mountains surrounding Tokyo-3.
The next morning he leaves the theater, but hallucinates that the buildings are closing in on him. He spends the night in the theater's lobby. The few other people there seem to be either sleeping or making out.
He tells himself, "I've got to go back", but instead attends a late-night showing of a movie about Second Impact. Shinji boards a local train and rides it all day, repeatedly listening to tracks 25 & 26 on his SDAT, leaving only when the train is taken out of service for the night.
