Shinji remains quiet for another moment, letting that idea sink in. It's not something that feels entirely unbelievable. His own situation hadn't been very cut-and-dry, but hadn't that been sort of what the facts shook out to look like when Kaworu had been in Havenwell? He'd worked as hard as he could to keep a lid on his heart to keep things from getting too complicated, because they absolutely would have without as much discretion as he could manage, even if it didn't work out exactly as he'd thought it would in the end.
"Both of them," he echoes the sentiment after a bit. Even with that spot of experience under his belt, there's still something that twists in the pit of his stomach at the thought. The question, though, is if it was weird or not. Whatever judgement he may pass on himself for it, Kai surely deserves something more generous. "I guess, maybe... it's not too weird, when you put it like that."
