A young child looks up at Shinjiro, he holds a worn out bear in his arm. "Why you look grumpy mister?"
to keep little brats from asking weird questions , he'd like to say . unfortunately his demeanor obviously isn't succeeding in getting him left alone , so it's pointless . shinji instead shoves his hands in his pockets and looks down his nose at the child , trying to look intimidating despite being really rather concerned for the kid . the places he frequents aren't the sort that children young enough to still haul their teddies should be wandering around .
" 'cause i'm grumpy , " he answers . grumpily . " where're your parents , kid ? "
