Day 9: Gentle / Brutal
Shinji was gentle. A wimp, really. He was terrified of confrontation, so he would usually agree with everyone, often in a whisper that you had to struggle to hear. Even on a good day, when he wasn't so meek and pathetic, he was still subdued and non-threatening.
And here he was, screaming his throat sore, ripping apart an Angel with his own hands—or rather, the hands of the twenty-story monster that obeyed his every thought.
It was easy to think that Shinji never got angry or violent. In reality, he was filled with fury, saving it up until it couldn't stay buried any longer.
Shinji was almost always soft-spoken, shy and gentle. But sometimes, he was terrifying.
