[paternalistic]

[his eyes widen for a brief moment before he scoots closer.]

Someone bound a soul to a machine? [it sounds wrong; his mother, she must be suffering.]

Who would do that? [he sorta has an inkling who would do that.]

[forevalone]

The organization my mother and father work for, I guess.

[paternalistic]

[ah, he hates being right so often.]

You can tell me anything, Shinji-chan. Do you want to talk about it?

[forevalone]

...I don't know if I should.

[paternalistic]

[isshin exhales before standing up and ruffling shinji's hair.]

You don't have to tell me if you don't want to.

[forevalone]

...You're really so nice to me, Kurosaki-san.

[paternalistic]

Oh Shinji, I'm just looking after you. [he says with a small laugh, ruffling his hair as he gets up to find something that might help him sleep.]

Take these. They're going to help you sleep and wake up refreshed. If you find that you need them to continue on, come back to me. I'll see what else I can do.

[forevalone]

_{[It may seem like nothing to Isshin or something he ought to do, but to Shinji it's still bizarre. He's not used to having someone "just look after him".]}

Thank you, Kurosaki-san. I'll be sure to take them.
