[ It does sound a lot like some horror or sci-fi movie, honestly. Shinichi's had that same thought.... it's almost laughably bizarre, difficult to even process or comprehend as reality. But as he's talking about it now, voicing parts of what happened to someone else for the first time..... ever, he's feeling the weight of it. It's hard, unpleasant, but maybe in some way it helps, too.... (Talking about things can help a person start dealing with them, who knew??)
He's listening to what the girl is saying, paying all of his focus, utmost sincere. As difficult as it to share this with someone else, he wants to hear what someone might say in return. Wants to hear their thoughts or opinions on the matter, because.... it's been so lonely. Not being able to share this with another person, keeping it a secret from every other human in his life. It's been so lonesome. So no matter how Ange might respond to the information he's sharing, it means something to him.
And even just hearing someone else say that they get that it's hard..... means something. An acknowledgement that it is hard, and Shinichi's giving a quiet swallow, his throat just a bit tight as he holds onto those words. It feels like some quiet relief, like being seen... especially by someone else who clearly knows what it is to go through Harrowing Supernatural Experience...
But it's what the girl goes on to say that has his eyes then widening. 'You fit right in.'
Somehow, he's gone from alone to "we", from being One Weird Teen to being part of a collection of them.... even if he's still unsure it's even okay for him to join this thing, the fact that it exists at all is... something. A big thing. Shinichi's staring widely at the girl, clearly affected by her words, and also what they reveal (she can summon demons......) ]
Ah..... thank you. For saying all of that. [ He's shy in the face of it, but perpetually earnest as he absorbs her words very seriously. They do help.... they help him a lot....! Ange, you're better at this than you may think! ]
It's nice not to feel so.... alone, here. And I guess I'm not the only one with something about them that could... scare people....
[ Things like laser beam eyeballs and well.... summoning demons (Migi is... absolutely going to want to know more about that....) ]
Maybe I really should join. Scott said it was okay, he knows about... about Migi, so...
.....Does this mean you've decided to join?
[ It seems like she might, she did just say "we're basically the Weird Teens Club", but he knows people are kind of checking it out, seeing how it might be... making the decision whether to join or not, so he can't help asking.... (and hoping she does. It would be nice if she was there, too.) ]
