[There were a lot of things Shinji Ikari would let himself be blamed for. There were a lot of things that he'd done that were his fault. There were a lot of things that weren't even his fault but he'd blame himself for anyway.
This however...this was ridiculous. He had caused not only Third but Fourth Impact as well? That was insane! Sure, Impact might've started and had happened if Kaworu had followed his instincts and Shinji hadn't the spine to actually crush him but he'd done so. He'd killed the Angel, someone who supposedly loved him, to save a world that hated him.
Instead of trigger it, he'd done the complete opposite.]
No...No I didn't.
[It isn't denial, at least, it isn't completely. This boy, this Shinji is free from that sin for now. It may be tacked onto his list of sins later on, but for now he's free of the guilt.]
Why would you say something like that? I...I killed the angel. I killed Kaworu-kun. I didn't trigger anything!
