"That's good to hear. This place was enough of a shock for me--it must be really tough if you've never been in space, to suddenly be millions of lightyears from everything you're familiar with. And when you do feel out-of-place, just remember you're out of place with everyone else together."

"Yeah, I guess so," Shinji said, which was a bit dismissive. He didn't know how to share his fears with other people. Plus, there was a lot more bothering Shinji than feelings of being a little out of place. He had felt like a pile of crap at home, even before the apocalypse, when he was just another faceless person in the crowd.

"But the Force sounds like... well, that's incredible. Being able to see into the future, that's just incredible. It reminds me of... it's like a life force, you're saying?
