How on earth is Shinji supposed to just ignore such obvious troubles coming from one of his own roommates? His own petal problems are definitely much less troubling in comparison, and Kyoko seems to be acting extra cagey about hers. Not that he can really blame her, it's a bizarre thing to be dealing with, but it's absolutely making her behave... differently.

So, when the opportunity to talk to her alone presents itself, just the two of them, he jumps right for it.

"Kyoko, hang on...!" Wait for him! Don't leave the house just yet!
