[Shinji gets as far as "don't know why we have personas" before his train of thought collides with a wall and he just stares at Haruhi. It took so much tech and so much work to summon their personas back in the EVA program that it's like she just said they woke up one morning as black belt martial artists with comprehensive knowledge of astrophysics. You don't just have personas.]
But that's-- what do you mean? You just... have them?
[He thinks about it, and oh, wow, yeah, they were just in regular clothes, weren't they?]
How did you summon them without a plug suit? Even Kaworu couldn't...
[Saying the name aloud is enough to pull back the memory of Archangel, his dead boyfriend's serene smile beaming out of the persona's mass of geometric wings, four arms plated like Unit 01's had been. He covers his mouth with his hands, eyes wide and frightened.]
Oh, god, Kaworu, he-- that thing in the basement, it wasn't Unit 01. That wasn't my persona! It had his face! What did I summon?! What was that thing?!
[There's a very good chance he's going to burst into horrified tears. Sorry Haruhi.]
