[Really, having no income means he can't exactly be terribly charitable about the funds he has-- but Shinjiro's never minded showing up to these events just to see what's going on, keep an ear to the ground, and pre-emptively be around in case things go to shit, as they tend to do when large amounts of imPorts gather. But now he's just trying to dodge a housemate, barely flinching at the jolt of static-
(because let's face it, living with Akihiko and the guy's turning-into-electricity thing? Shinji ends up like a cat that's been rubbing against the carpet on most days anyway. He's used to the electrical discharges.) What he's not used to is the sudden flood of someone else's mind dumping information and sensations and feelings of losing someone close to a fire hitting entirely too-close to home--
So he withdraws with a step, staggering slightly and staring wildly at Hiro- for once, not able to find the words to respond to this. Did Hiro know he'd just glimpsed the guy's mind? Does he apologize? Or... rather just glance down and away, schooling that troubled expression back into neutrality and pressing his lips together. After a moment he'll just- glance back up, as though to get a read on if Hiro even knew what had transpired.]
