Oh. Kyoko blinks, and then a softness washes over her. "I have one," she nods, smiling to herself as much as for Shinji. She pauses, a bit sheepish, but can't resist going on. "It's... probably not what you had in mind--that role was assigned to me as practice, and I only got to play it for a day, but... if it's my favorite, then... it has to be Kuon, for sure."
Dropping a boy's name probably would require some explanation even if they weren't in a spill-truths-to-escape situation, but it's not something Kyoko minds anyway. "Um--so, you see, it's a little complicated, but I'd been complaining about the kinds of roles I was getting offered, and my... my mentor decided I needed a lesson on developing characters. An actor should be ready to tackle any kind of role, no matter how unconventional, you know? Even different genders shouldn't be off the table. So he told me to play his son. Someone I've never met, named Kuon."
