[ It definitely doesn't sound like the girl is jumping at the bit to be here, but that just makes Shinichi feel like he can Relate To Her even more.... after all, he'd expressed his own hesitations about being here, and even if Ange's might come from a different place, it still must be difficult to be someone who, for whatever reason, isn't meeting this club idea with outright enthusiasm, a bit hesitant about it. (And a few things are starting to slide into place here, more glimpses of what kind of life the girl must have known, in her home world. She was personally tormented by witches, she can summon demons... Clearly horror is a part of her existence in various ways....)
So it's turn to try to offer some encouragement, his own melancholy warming up a little, shy smile warming a bit, too. ]
That's okay...! Being in a club can be kind of nerve-racking....
[ Even before Migi came into his life, Shinichi wasn't really the type, either. He's too shy.... ]
....but it sounds like you have a lot of wisdom to offer about this kind of stuff. I'm sure anyone else you talk to would be glad to hear your thoughts, too.
[ Sorry Ange, this boy has a high opinion of you after all of this.... He thinks highly of you... That's the outcome of this first meeting!! He's not sorry! ]
I'm glad you're joining, though! I hope you'll end up staying, if you want to.
[ If she's joining to get some information, then it's feasible the girl might decide to leave after she gets it, but he has to let her know that he hopes she'll stay. He may hardly know the other teen yet (and he hasn't even... told her his name... he's so good at social interaction, really) but there's something that ties them together, isn't there? Like she'd said β we, the weirdo teens... the ones coming from bizarre horrific circumstances that shouldn't be reality.... It does make him feel a comradery that he's never felt, before. He'd like to keep it close.
He's still just standing there smiling at her when he suddenly does realise... blinking widely and startlingβ ]
Ahβ and I never even introduced myself, did I...! I'm Shinichi. Shinichi Izumi, that is! It's nice to meet you!
