[Kaworu's length of pause worries Nageki significantly. He's just begun to consider sending an apology for his intrusiveness in case he's said something to upset the other boy, but before he can make up his mind Kaworu finally sends back a reply. Maybe Nageki shouldn't be as relieved as he is for it, but Kaworu's opinion of him matters quite a lot. Because of it, his reply is very carefully worded and takes a little bit longer than normal for Nageki's usual response time.]
I know. You do not need to justify your actions to me, Kaworu. I don't hold any ill feelings toward you for them.
However, people are not always reasonable when it comes to feeling betrayed or hurt, especially if it comes in time with something as traumatic as causing another's death. Whether there was an alternative or not likely doesn't matter to Shinji.
