shinji: .....I just find it so hard to believe that you care so much about me. you just met me, yet... you're risking for me. why? where did I earn that...?
Who says people have to earn the care of others?
...No like seriously, who? I wanna punch those idiots the most.
But that aside, you can account part of it to me being an empathetic fool at heart. I try not to let it show, or hinder me really, but it is a part of who I am. To know that there are people out there that are suffering through bad circumstances and decisions hurts. Especially because I know I realistically can't do much of anything, even if I had the time and the effort to help. People aren't exactly receptive to help if they aren't looking for it, with you being a good case in point. And yet, sometimes pushing through the kickback works, if you're willing to put in the effort.
Granted, it took a promise for me to stick around at first, but I do care about you at this point, like many of your other friends. They're not about to stop caring about you just because you're doing some dumb things.
