[nods, sighing again as she deliberates for a moment]
I... To be honest, I can barely start to imagine what it must have been like—going through everything you told me about. But I do understand why you'd feel like you don't deserve to be happy after what happened.
But right here, right now, this is where you are, Shinji-kun. There's nothing you can do to change the past and rejecting the possibility of being happy elsewhere wouldn't solve anything either way.
I'm not saying you need to forget about it or pretend it never happened... we both know that kind of thing is impossible. But you can still move forward, you can still change yourself into someone you're happier with, you can make other people happy too...
Keep the memories of your loved ones alive in your heart and live on for their sake. Atone in ways that will improve life for you and other people.
