Well… I know what I’d like to do. [He lifts a clenched fist to express his determination.] I just haven’t decided how to get there yet.
[Now it’s his turn to avert his gaze. Months later, and he’s still thinking about Shinji’s death like it happened yesterday. When he finally replies, his voice is soft with contemplation.] Yes… it is. You never know when things are gonna end. It’s hard to plan when the future’s so ambiguous.
