[Shinji has no interest whatsoever in war games, even pretend ones, so he turns down the chance to join Kaworu for phaser tag. He still shows up to watch a few rounds and cheerlead each victory, though. There's a sitting area outside of the maze with various live camera feeds of the battle: night vision, thermal vision, aether vision (?), and more. But Kaworu is difficult to spot because of how quick he is, moving from hallway to hallway, annihilating every opponent. Shinji almost forgot he was an Eva pilot, too, and he served under Shinji's father, who would have demanded a level of competence in battle... (Not something he wants to think about anymore.)]
That had to have been your best round, [Shinji says excitedly, as soon as Kaworu emerges again. He holds out a water bottle--not that Kaworu needs it--and a towel for Kaworu to wipe his face with. Even an Angel can get sweaty from exertion, it looks like. It's making Kaworu's skin gleam like inlaid pearl.] I don't think you got hit a single time. Just amazing.
