Sleep may have been elusive for Shinji, but the rest that came from relaxing through the night as best he could was... helpful? Helpful. His thoughts may still be swimming, his brain refusing to shut off completely, but his muscles have the chance to recover in this nice, warm and comfortable atmosphere. Perhaps he wasn't entirely awake the whole night, but he certainly didn't nod off for any meaningful amount of time either.

All that is to say, when Kyoko peeks over from the other side of the bed, the movement is enough to catch Shinji's attention. Ah, hello there. He doesn't want to speak up right away and potentially rouse Kai from his slumber, but a small, tired little wave, really just a raise of his hand, directed her way feels like a good enough route to take. Good morning. All three of them are still together, nobody's been spirited away in the middle of the night.
