Long as it didn't turn into 'fake it until somebody gets hurt,' I guess there're worse options. God knows Aki's not nearly as together as he pretends to be. Don't know Mitsuru well enough to say, but rich people are usually even worse about that.

[And really, given that some sick fuck in her father's company thought guns were a great focus design for this shit, Shinji doubts she's as polished as she looks, deep down. Maybe that's why Mitsuru didn't completely put him off.]
