It isn't as if Shinji has any particular attachment to the story, and if he were to think about it long enough, he'd definitely say he's not thrilled about the whole star-crossed nature of the situation. Even with the benefit of crossing that bridge once a year, isn't it still awfully sad?
But still, tonight isn't the night for letting thoughts of falling fast and hard sweep over him, or the thought of tragically short meetings weigh his heart down. He can understand perfectly well how the situation would leave him feeling, and he can instead settle his focus back on the warmth next to him, and how even in the uncertain nature of Havenwell, it isn't something that's been fleeting.
"Maybe they wouldn't have to do all of that waiting in the first place. It's a whole different sky out here, there might not even be that river between them."
