[quote=@Meta] Shinji... *Sighs* I don't have an easy or clean way of saying it. But I'm not in a place where you can be useful to me. You don't [i]need [/i]to be useful to me. *Leans back* But I'm not the only one like that. I know several of your friends and none of them would look at you and see you as nothing but a tool to be used. But do you see yourself that way? Do you consider yourself worthless when you're not being a hero?... If so, you need to look inside your heart, at all the grime and mess you've made within yourself, and be the change you want to see. Be your own hero before you become someone else's.
